Women's Health Center
At the service of women's health and well-being
The American Cancer Society says that your health habits may play a role in helping to reduce your risk for this serious disease, and they're particularly important as you get older.
Surveys show fewer than one in 10 women perceive heart disease as their greatest health threat, but it's the nation's number one killer.
Many women are unaware they have osteoporosis until they have advanced symptoms, which may include a broken hip or wrist, low back pain or a hunched back.
The Women's Center is proud to have board certified OB/GYN physicians, as well as several Certified Nurse Midwives, to provide quality obstetrical and gynecological services to our patients.
