Common areas of care for women:
Dedicated to advancing women's health care
Advocate excels at addressing women's top health care concerns. We use the latest technology and techniques and offer the highest-quality standards. Our specially trained experts also provide support, education and assistance and are there for you every step of the way.
Our mammography program is one example, as is our obstetrics program, which gives women access to the vast experience of our physician network for the most comprehensive care available for mom and baby. Our commitment to women's unique health needs is also evident in our noninvasive, pain-free techniques such as DEXA scanning for osteoporosis – a dangerous thinning of bones.
We’re also here for women’s annual exam, which is slightly different than a well-woman exam you get during a visit with your gynecologist or obstetrician-gynecologist (OB-GYN). Women should get both exams regularly because they offer different benefits. An annual physical provides a comprehensive view of your general health needs, while a gynecology visit offers a more specialized assessment of your reproductive health.
Are you at risk for breast cancer?
Knowing your chance of developing breast cancer can help you plan a routine screening schedule. Our breast health quiz estimates your five-year and lifetime risk and gives you an idea of what to do next based on your results.
