Women's Health

Our approach to women’s health focuses on the individual woman. We help you take control of your health and wellness throughout every stage of your life—from the reproductive years to the menopausal stage and beyond.
Women's health issues are unique, and they change as a woman's body and life stage evolves. At Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital, we bring the latest insights on disease prevention and wellness strategies to help solve or manage the health challenges you face. Our commitment is evident in our Hunter Family Center for Women's Health, which includes our family-centered Waud Family Maternity Center and the comprehensive services of the Posy Krehbiel Breast Care Center.
The Center provides the very latest in diagnostic screening, outpatient treatment, home-based services, therapy, classes and comfort for every life stage. Whether you are pregnant, facing breast cancer, controlling your weight, in need of general or plastic surgery, suffering from heart disease or dealing with osteoporosis, you can feel confident our focus will be on your well-being.
Our surgical subspecialists are trained in Laparoscopic Surgery, Neurosurgery, Oral/Maxillofacial Surgery, Orthopaedic Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Pelvic Surgery or Urogynecologic Surgery.
