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.
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
