Recognizing
that women are often charged with making health care choices for
themselves and their families, Charles Cole Memorial Hospital
developed a women's health program to meet these special needs in
1996. The program is designed to provide an interdisciplinary team
of health care professionals to address the individual health
concerns of women of all ages, utilizing a wide variety of
resources.
The new Marian J. Wettrick Women's Health Center opened in 1999 to provide a warm, friendly, private environment. A resource center features a selection of books, videos and audio cassette on a range of health topics. Internet access is also available at the Center.
The Women's Health Center is located in the Women & Family Health Center, which is located at the west end of the Hospital complex. In addition to the Women's Health Center, the facility includes office space for the Hospital's obstetrician/gynecologists and North Hills Family Practice.
Women's Health has
been a most-welcome addition to the services at Charles Cole
Memorial Hospital. Having a complement of services available in
one convenient location is a great time saver. And the staff can't
be beat!
