Women's Midlife Health Care Services

Women’s bodies go through many stages over a lifetime. After childbirth, women’s health care needs change. Your hormones shift during menopause. Caring for children and aging parents can cause you extra stress. And as you age, it becomes even more important for you to maintain an active, healthy lifestyle.

• Collaboration: We coordinate every aspect of your health care by working closely with a team of psychiatrists, psychologists, cardiologists, gastroenterologists, oncologists, pelvic floor therapists, sleep specialists, and other women’s health professionals. We strive to get you targeted, specialized appointments when you need them.

What is midlife care?

Women’s bodies go through many stages over a lifetime. After childbirth, women’s health care needs change. Your hormones shift during menopause. Caring for children and aging parents can cause you extra stress. And as you age, it becomes even more important for you to maintain an active, healthy lifestyle.

Our OB-GYNs focus on preventive women’s health care to address every aspect of your well-being at midlife and beyond. If routine treatments are ineffective for common midlife symptoms and conditions, we offer specially trained providers for support and treatment. We also collaborate with other AHN experts for specialized care across disciplines for extra convenience.
