Women seek healthcare for many different reasons during their lifespan. Our integrated, multidisciplinary team strives to provide compassionate, holistic, evidenced-based care within an environment of trust and respect. We are committed to supporting women not only during illness but also to empower women to optimize their health throughout their lives.
Gynecology
We offer comprehensive women’s gynecological care including preventive services, contraceptive care, gynecological surgery, and treatment for issues related to the female reproductive system– from childhood through menopause and beyond.
Breast Health
Your breasts change as you go through different stages of your life. It’s important to learn what is normal for your breasts. This is called breast self-awareness. The key to breast self-awareness is knowing how your breasts normally look and feel. This helps you to notice any changes.
Breast self-awareness isn’t about following a certain method and schedule. Breast self-awareness is knowing what’s normal for your breasts. That way you can notice even small changes right away. If you see any changes, report them to your healthcare provider right away.
Breast Health Assessment
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women other than skin cancer. The American Cancer Society says the breast cancer death rate is declining. This is probably because of earlier detection through routine screening and better treatment. Early detection is the main way to find breast cancer when it’s small and easier to treat.
This short assessment will help you learn if you have risk factors that may raise your breast cancer risk. It is not a complete review of all breast cancer risks. For a complete evaluation of your risks, schedule an appointment with your primary care provider or at Women’s Health of CMA. Knowing your breast cancer risk is helpful when making a breast cancer screening plan.
Women’s Imaging
We know that mammograms make women anxious and that waiting for exam results is stressful. We know that safety, comfort, and leading-edge technology are patient-care essentials. And we know that women want individualized, personal care.
All women having mammograms at Cayuga Medical Center, east campus and Cortland campus learn the results of their mammograms before the end of their imaging appointment. We have been providing this high level of service for many years.
