New Woman All Woman Health Care was a women's health care center located at 1001 17th Street South in Southside. The clinic offered gynecological and abortion services from the early 1990s until its closure in May 2012. The clinic's director was Diane Derzis.
On January 29, 1998, domestic terrorist Eric Robert Rudolph detonated a bomb at the clinic, killing off-duty police officer Robert Sanderson and seriously wounding nurse Emily Lyons.
On May 18, 2012 the clinic surrendered its state license to the Alabama Department of Public Health. The department investigated complaints of "breach of protocol" with regard to medication errors and determined that the clinic's leadership failed to ensure compliance with appropriate procedures.
