Prenatal care

Healthy babies truly begin with you. We can assist with finding an obstetrician who can provide the care and education you need throughout your pregnancy. We also offer a variety of childbirth and parenting classes to make you feel prepared to meet your little one. Additionally, our team of experienced and educated nurses, nurse practitioners and physicians who can answer all of your baby questions.

Preconception visit

If you're thinking of starting a family, meet with an obstetrician to discuss how you can best prepare your body for pregnancy and address any underlying conditions that may affect your ability to get pregnant or cause a high-risk pregnancy. Also, if certain genetic diseases run in your family, such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia, you can talk to your doctor about whether you or your partner should have genetic testing before becoming pregnant.

Breast health screenings play a critical role in every woman’s long-term health plan. We encourage women to be proactive when considering their breast health and, beyond self-exams, offer multiple ways to help you detect any potentially troubling conditions, such as breast cancer. We offer 3D mammograms, which uses advanced technology to allow our doctors to examine you with greater accuracy, precision and visibility than a basic mammogram.

We understand that a cancer diagnosis can be an unsettling time. Our oncologists are expertly trained in helping with many common types of cancers affecting females, including breast cancer, ovarian cancer and uterine cancer. Services within our oncology program include prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, wellness and survivorship. Through our Cancer Screening Mobile Unit, we also help increase access to early detection by providing screenings for residents throughout the community.
