Women’s Services

At Community Health Network, we know your life is busy and staying well is important to you. And because we know women often care for others before themselves, we’ve committed special time and attention to anticipating and meeting your ever-changing needs.

Physicians and staff at Community Health Network recognize the wonder in the moments of a woman's life. We share in your joys. We recognize your fears. We treat your concerns.

Our women’s programs offer wellness and preventive health screenings, from mammography and breast diagnostic centers, bone density screenings and a urinary incontinence program to education on heart health, stress management, fitness and nutrition. We’re with you at every age and stage of life. Sign up for one of our classes or events!

Are you among the 20 to 40 percent of women suffering from uterine fibroids?

All women are at risk for developing fibroids. Uterine fibroids are common, non-cancerous tumors in or on the walls of the uterus. If you have been diagnosed with uterine fibroids or are suffering from the symptoms, Community Health Network invites you attend a free seminar to learn more about a less invasive option that preserves the uterus and greatly reduces recovery times compared to surgical procedures.

Some of the most common signs and symptoms include heavy menstrual bleeding, painful periods, pelvic pressure and frequent urination, pain during intercourse and lower back pain. Often, women consider these symptoms a normal part of life and don’t discuss treatment options with their doctor. The majority of fibroids are diagnosed and treated in women between the ages of 35 to 55. African-American women and those with a family history are more likely to develop fibroids than other women.
