Women's Health Services

Woman-to-Woman Program

At St. Anthony’s Women’s Specialty Center, we know how important it is for women to feel the comfort of a trusted friend when seeking advice about their health. That’s why we’ve created Woman-to-Woman, a personalized health and wellness program.

Two women outdoors: Some healthy advice from one woman to another.Participants get plenty of one-on-one time with a nurse practitioner – a nurse with advanced education and training – who works in collaboration with a physician and provides disease prevention and wellness education, as well as comprehensive diagnosis and treatment services to patients.

Woman-to-Woman participants can choose from several 30-minute health assessment sessions, and each session includes:

  • A health topic-specific assessment and screening
  • Education highlighting disease-prevention recommendations
  • Referral to appropriate physician specialists for additional testing and treatment, if needed
