Is telehealth abortion available throughout Illinois?

Yes, telehealth abortion is available throughout Illinois through Serenity Choice Health. Patients across the state can access medication abortion through virtual consultations with our licensed providers, and the abortion pills are shipped directly to their homes. Serenity Choice Health offers telehealth services to all Illinois residents, regardless of where they live in the state, from Chicago to southern Illinois and everywhere in between.

How Telehealth Abortion Works at Serenity Choice Health?

Serenity Choice Health offers a fully virtual medication abortion option for eligible patients. The process is designed to be private, convenient, and accessible from your own home.

• Step 1: Schedule a virtual consultation. You will meet with a licensed clinician via secure video or phone call. During this visit, we will review your medical history, confirm your eligibility, and answer all of your questions.

• Step 2: Receive your medications. After your consultation, the abortion pills (mifepristone and misoprostol) are shipped discreetly to your Illinois address. Shipping is fast and private, with no visible markers indicating the contents.

• Step 3: Take the pills at home. You will take the first pill (mifepristone) at home. Twenty-four to forty-eight hours later, you will take the second pill (misoprostol) at home, which begins the cramping and bleeding that empties the pregnancy.

• Step 4: Follow-up care. Our medical team is available for follow-up questions and support. We can also schedule a virtual follow-up visit to confirm the abortion is complete.
