Our women's health services

We're here to support you in all stages of your life. We care for your physical and emotional well-being while using advanced medicine for your personalized care.

Breast health services

Our doctors will perform breast exams during your routine wellness checks, and can coach you on how to do your own breast exams. If anything feels different or abnormal, we can connect you with ultrasound and mammography services. Sometimes, abnormalities are cysts or dense breast tissue, although other times, they are conditions that require regular monitoring or a more direct treatment plan.

Women's cancer care

We provide surgical procedures and infusion services to treat a range of cancers, including those specific to women, as part of our cancer care program. Our surgical oncologists remove malignant tumors to prevent the spread of cancers, including breast cancer, cervical cancer, ovarian cancer and uterine cancer. We also offer in-house, outpatient chemotherapy treatment as well as genetic testing to assess your cancer risk.

Emotional wellness

We understand the mental health challenges you face as women. In fact, many women experience anxiety or depression at some point in their lives. If you or a loved one needs emotional or behavioral health support, our compassionate specialists are here to help you find the care you need.

Senior mental health care

For women 55 and older needing immediate mental health support, we offer a short-term inpatient mental health program. Our interdisciplinary team helps senior women address and manage behavioral health concerns using individual and group therapy, skills training and medication management.

Gynecology

Our gynecologists provide services ranging from routine well-woman exams to complex surgery. Our services include:

  • Detection of sexually transmitted diseases
  • Endometriosis diagnosis and treatment
  • Family planning
  • Gynecological surgery
  • Help navigating menopause
  • Hysterectomy
  • Pap test screening
  • Treatment for gynecological disorders

Women's heart health

Cardiologists within our cardiovascular program have extensive experience in preventing and treating heart disease. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), heart disease is the number one killer of American women. Heart attack symptoms can present differently in women and include nausea, jaw pain, pain in the lower abdomen and extreme fatigue. Regular well-woman visits and a strong relationship with your healthcare provider are some of the best ways to stave off heart disease.

Bone care

If you or a loved one are concerned about osteoporosis (brittle bones that break easily due to age), our imaging center offers bone density screenings. This noninvasive diagnostic procedure measures bone loss and assesses various risk factors. The screening requires no anesthesia and uses very little radiation — less than one-tenth the amount in a standard X-ray.
