Our specialty services for women
Our women's health specialists personalize their care to your unique needs, and we offer a variety of services, including:
Bone density testing
Low bone density can increase your risk of bone fractures and developing osteoporosis. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, about 50 percent of women 50 years old and older will break a bone due to the disease.
With bone density testing, we can evaluate your bone density and assess your risk for fractures. This allows us to proactively create a care plan to maintain your bone health and prevent fractures.
