Women’s Health & Wellness Institute Programs

Your mental health is a priority. Regardless of the symptoms or condition that led you to the Institute, we always prioritize your emotional well-being. This program is designed to ensure that all our caregivers – from patient navigators to physicians to physical therapists – connect you with any behavioral health services you might need within the Providence Saint John’s system.

At the Institute, our focus is on education. Through our program, you can attend seminars about the early prevention and detection of breast cancer, get reminders about self-screening and mammograms, access enhanced detection technology and receive personalized treatment from multidisciplinary care teams. Our patient navigators also help you schedule care with the Margie Petersen Breast Center as needed and ensure that your entire care team stays connected.

We want women of all ages to support their overall brain health, and proactive cognitive care can help prevent, slow or treat different kinds of neurological conditions. Our new Women’s Health & Wellness Center provides important education on screenings, early detection and prevention, while our patient navigators connect you to any specialized neurological care available at Providence Saint John’s.

If you’re facing cancer of the reproductive system, you’re likely experiencing a whole host of unwanted side effects from treatment, like hormonal imbalances or chemotherapy-induced menopause. Our new Women’s Health & Wellness Center offers many integrative medicine treatments to help ease your way. Our program also helps connect you to urogynecology services that address any symptoms of urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse or pelvic pain that you’re experiencing. From screenings through survivorship, we’re here to support you and help improve your quality of life.

This program is a holistic approach to treatment, combining conventional and alternative therapies. At our new Women’s Health & Wellness Center, our integrative services – like acupuncture, cannabis and hemp counseling, non-pharmacological pain management and nutrition – are available to all women who walk through our door.

Whether you and your partner are preparing for your baby's arrival, navigating postpartum or focusing on recovery, we’re here to provide comprehensive care and support. Our patient navigators streamline your access to Providence Saint John’s physicians and provide referrals for prenatal care and maternity programs. At the Women’s Health & Wellness Center, we offer acupuncture to alleviate pregnancy-related discomfort, maternal mental health resources, guidance from certified MAHMEE lactation consultants and specialized pelvic floor therapy for strengthening and rehabilitation.

When your baby is in the NICU, you need help. Our program provides expert care and resources on infant health, development and feeding during a time when you need to ask a lot of questions. Our goal is to provide a comforting environment where you feel safe to ask whatever you like. Your patient navigator will stay in close contact with the NICU team at Providence Saint John’s Health Center to help manage the care for you and your baby, serving as an extension of emotional support.

At the Institute, we’re not only promoting better health for you – we're also focused on better health for your children. Our new Women’s Health & Wellness Center provides a safe, community space for families to receive education on the latest discoveries in pediatric care, immunizations, developmental check-ups and children’s mental and behavioral health.

There are so many reasons why women need to prioritize their pelvic health. Pregnancy and childbirth can damage the muscles, ligaments and nerves of the pelvic floor. Pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) like incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse often feel embarrassing and seem untreatable. The Institute will help you find the specialized care, comfort and support that you deserve.

You deserve to feel good in your body. Our team of physical therapists are here to help you restore and retain your mobility. Through our new Women’s Health & Wellness Center, you’ll have access to a state-of-the-art physical therapy gym and various treatment modalities, including electrical stimulation, muscle biofeedback, and tissue decompression.

When it comes to heart health, women don’t face the same concerns as men. Women’s symptoms of heart disease also present differently. Our program provides education and encourages regular screenings related to heart health – like blood pressure and cholesterol testing – for early prevention and detection. If you’re experiencing heart-related issues, our goal is to help improve your quality of life and reduce the need for hospital visits. Our patient navigators also help connect you to all the available services at Providence Saint John’s Heart Center.

Our program provides comprehensive care for women’s digestive health addressing issues like IBS, GERD, and celiac disease. We offer advanced diagnostics and nutritional counseling to help you manage symptoms and improve your digestive wellness. Through our patient navigators, you’ll also gain easier access to all the specialists at Providence Saint John’s Digestive Health Institute and Gastrointestinal Oncology Center.
