Why Choose MU Health Care for Women’s Health Care

Leading-Edge Women’s Health Care

As one of the region’s few academic health systems, we offer specialized women’s health care backed by research and innovation. Our women’s health team leads and participates in clinical trials looking at new ways to treat common and complex conditions. This means you may have access to treatments not yet widely available.

Personalized Care for Personal Problems

We know your health is personal. That’s why we’re dedicated to making sure your care is tailored to your personal needs. Our women’s health specialists take the time to get to know you, discussing your concerns, goals and preferences. From there, they’ll work with you — and sometimes other women’s health specialists — to come up with a care plan together.

Expertise in Minimally Invasive Surgery

Surgery can be one of the most effective ways to treat certain women’s health conditions, like endometriosis or fibroids. But gynecologic procedures like hysterectomy [embed URL to new Hysterectomy page] and myomectomy can be major surgeries with difficult recoveries. However, MU Health Care has the only minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS) certified doctors in the region, offering less intensive surgical options whenever possible. This approach offers you faster recovery, less pain and lower risk for complications.

Labor and Delivery Tailored to You

Planning for your labor and delivery can be both exciting and overwhelming. Your pregnancy care provider will work with you to determine the right birth plan for you. Our state-of-the-art Birthing Centers can accommodate your preferences, from pain management to natural birth support. Our team emphasizes choices and helps you feel confident and ready for your baby’s arrival.
