Breast cancer services

Regular breast cancer screenings are an essential part of every woman's healthcare plan. To ensure you have as much information and visibility as possible, we perform 3D mammograms to help identify signs of breast cancer early, when it is most treatable. If you receive a breast cancer diagnosis, we are here to provide surgical treatments and specialized radiation therapy.

If you have to undergo a mastectomy to have one or both of your breasts removed, we offer reconstructive surgery so you can maintain a natural breast appearance after your treatment.

Pregnancy and childbirth services

At our dedicated birthing center, experienced women's doctors provide a full range of care for expectant mothers. We offer high-risk pregnancy rooms if you require extra monitoring and attention prior to childbirth, as well as private labor and delivery and mother-baby rooms.

We promote immediate skin-to-skin contact and have rooming-in throughout your hospital stay. Additionally, our board-certified lactation consultants are available to help you begin breastfeeding.

High-risk pregnancy services

In addition to caring for you and your baby prior to birth, our board-certified maternal-fetal medicine doctors specialize in handling complications during pregnancy. If an emergency cesarean section (C-section) is needed, we have dedicated operating rooms located directly down the hall from our labor and delivery rooms.

Our children's hospital offers the only Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Southeast Georgia, allowing us to give your ill or injured newborn extra medical attention after birth.

Women's heart health services

Research has shown that heart disease can present symptoms differently between men and women. Because heart attack symptoms may be difficult to immediately detect, you may be less likely to seek the immediate emergency care needed to properly treat a heart attack.

To control your risk for heart disease, it is important for you to understand your risk factors and work to lead a health-focused lifestyle. If you are considered at an elevated risk for heart disease, we create an action plan and keep your heart strong.

Reducing your risk for heart disease

Living a heart-healthy lifestyle can help prolong your life and offer numerous potential benefits, including:

• Healthier skin
• Higher energy levels
• Improved mood
• Prolonged weight loss

There are multiple ways to better manage your heart health, including:

• Eating heart-healthy foods
• Exercising
• Lowering your cholesterol
• Monitoring your blood pressure
• Putting a stop to smoking
• Reducing stress

To help you feel more comfortable coming to our hospital, we have created a women's unit virtual tour. We hope this will ease any worries you may have and help you become more familiar with our women's health services. We also offer a non-interactive, accessible online tour option.
