Women's Health

Women’s health care includes preventive visits, gynecologic care, breast health services, contraception counseling, pregnancy related care and support for many health concerns throughout life. Services may vary by location, and your care team can explain what is available at this hospital and when a referral is recommended.

Preventive care may include screenings based on your age, personal and family health history, and risk factors. These often include cervical cancer screening (Pap or HPV testing), breast cancer screening (such as mammograms), bone health checks, and lab work or other tests your provider recommends for your overall wellness.

You should schedule a women’s health visit any time you have new symptoms or questions, even if it is not time for your next routine exam. This includes concerns like unusual bleeding, pelvic or breast pain, new breast changes, questions about birth control, planning a pregnancy, changes related to menopause, or worries about sexually transmitted infections or other intimate health issues. If symptoms are sudden, severe or feel like an emergency, seek urgent or emergency care.
