Longtime Killer-Nurse Carole Hicks Retiring from Planned Parenthood
Longtime nurse practitioner Carole Hicks has seen an estimated 30,000 Seacoast area patients during her time at Portsmouth's Planned Parenthood and on Dec. 31 she will officially hang up the stethoscope. Hicks -- a Portsmouth resident -- is retiring from a career that saw her beginning to focus on women's reproductive health the year after the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court opinion. Hicks and Planned Parenthood manager Cheryl Meyer said New Hampshire law does not require teens to get their parents' permission to obtain an abortion, but both always push to assure families are involved whenever possible.
