Navigating healthcare takes a human touch.
Your Healthcare Advocate bridges the gap in women's healthcare to help ensure your best care.
HOW WE CAN HELP YOU
Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum
We provide guidance to expecting parents and those seeking to get pregnant including preconception planning and infertility treatments. From personalized birth plans to understanding when a C-section is medically necessary, we advocate for you.
Well-Women Care
All of us want to live long, healthy lives. Attaining that goal requires having a lifelong health maintenance plan, which we will help you to create. Additionally, we will pay special attention to the relationship between your reproductive history and your heart health as new science and data indicates a strong linkage to your overall health that many providers are not currently tracking.
