Keeping Women Healthy

From pregnancy to menopause, women have unique health needs that change over time. Preventive care and routine screenings can help you stay healthy during every phase.

Even if you feel well, it’s important to visit your doctor regularly to discuss your health, get screened for diseases and evaluate your risks for future conditions.

We offer an extensive range of services tailored specifically to address a woman’s evolving needs, from infectious disease testing and education to care for incontinence. Specialists use advanced diagnostic tests and imaging technologies to look for signs of conditions related to breast, bone, urinary and reproductive health. Your doctor may also use a variety of screenings to diagnose disease, including:

  • Breast Imaging
  • Bone Density
  • Urogynecology Consultation

Urogynecologists provide an array of treatments and therapies for women’s health disorders. We also have physical therapists who specialize in pelvic organ conditions, including pelvic pain, pelvic floor weakness and incontinence.

Many Sutter Health medical centers are nationally ranked acute care facilities and have been recognized as top performers on key quality measures by The Joint Commission. Hospitals across the Sutter Health network have been named among the best hospitals in California by U.S. News & World Report, and named top hospitals by organizations such as Truven Health Analytics and the Leapfrog Group.
