Breast Health Services
Breast health is a leading concern for many women, and we believe in focusing on early detection and preventative care for all women who step into our healthcare centers.
Our Breast Health Center will coordinate yearly mammograms, which are reviewed twice by the area’s only board-certified radiologists. Regular mammogram screenings and check-ins are standard at Baptist Health, and if your providers find anything from your screenings, the UAB Breast Health Clinic houses a qualified team specializing in breast surgery.
Heart Health Services
Heart disease is a leading health concern for women, and we emphasize close attention to monitoring women’s heart health, especially because cardiological symptoms in women can look different than traditional symptoms seen in men.
Take charge of your heart health and team up with our cardiovascular care services to address any heart health concerns.
Urology and Gynecology Services
Baptist Health proudly offers access to quality urological and gynecological healthcare for women. Whether you’re looking to conceive, are pregnant, experiencing health issues requiring specialists, or looking for preventive care in these areas, you can find the services you need at one of our facilities.
Expecting mothers can be confident that Baptist Health provides everything they need throughout their pregnancy, delivery and adjustment at home through our extensive maternity care services.
Gynecological Services
Regular pap smears and gynecological care are essential for all women, and at Baptist Health we make this a priority for our patients, with a wide variety of resources for gynecological health.
If you require surgery, our gynecological surgery department will be there through every step of your care. Patients can have gynecological surgery for various reasons, including cancer, infertility, cosmetic purposes, elective purposes, and incontinence. Our qualified gynecological specialists treat common women’s health concerns such as pelvic disorders and uterine fibroids.
