Obstetrics & Gynecology
Obstetrics and gynecology is a diverse field of medicine that focuses on women’s health throughout all stages of life.
Obstetrics
Obstetrics is the field of medicine that focuses on women’s care throughout all steps of maternity – pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. Obstetricians work to ensure and improve maternal and infant health.
Gynecology
Gynecology is the field of medicine that involves the overall care of women’s bodies and reproductive health. Gynecologists treat a range of women’s health conditions, including uterine fibroids, menstrual disorders, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Patients can also visit gynecologists for well-woman exams, contraceptive management, and menstrual disorders.
Midwifery
Midwifery is a woman-centered care model that empowers women to be leaders in their healthcare, and make sound decisions for their health, pregnancies, and families. Midwives value communication, relationships, and shared decision-making with the women they serve, and other healthcare providers. The goal is always a good outcome for women and their babies. This care includes yearly gynecological exams, annual health screenings, family planning, contraception, adolescent health, menopause support and diagnosis and treatment of common gynecological concerns.
