Our women's health services
Our hospital provides women's care using evidence-based approaches and advanced medical technology.
Breast cancer screenings
Annual mammograms are highly effective at catching breast cancer in its early stages when it is most treatable. Our board-certified radiologists utilize different types of breast imaging depending on your medical history and other factors. Our hospital is equipped with the latest technology, including 3D whole breast ultrasound (ABUS) and a high-risk breast clinic.
Breast cancer treatment
Our comprehensive breast cancer treatment program goes beyond medical care. From your first appointment, you become part of our compassionate and supportive community. Our multidisciplinary team of breast cancer doctors, cancer surgeons, nurses and support staff is committed to guiding you through every step of your journey.
Labor and delivery
Our maternity department offers unsurpassed care alongside helpful features that allow you to have the childbirth you envision. Labor and delivery rooms are designed with family in mind, so you can have your support team by your side. Postpartum care involves rooming-in for mother-baby bonding, as well as breastfeeding support.
High-risk pregnancy
If your pregnancy is deemed high-risk, our experienced providers help you understand why you need extra care and attention, and how it impacts labor and delivery. When we create a birth plan with you, our goals are always healthy outcomes for you and your baby. Should your newborn need specialized care, the team in our Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is standing by to provide gentle, stabilizing healthcare.
Unmedicated birth
You may have ideas or needs for support during labor and delivery, as well as what interventions you do or do not want. Our providers support low- and no-intervention births — sometimes called natural birth — by providing access to birthing balls and bathtubs for laboring. We also welcome your doula or midwife, working side-by-side to ensure a healthy birth.
