Women's Health & Pregnancy
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology
OB/GYN Changes In Response To The COVID-19 Pandemic:
In accordance with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the nation’s leading public health institute, Madigan is taking proactive steps to reduce the risk of exposure for our patients and staff to the COVID-19 virus. In addition to preventive measures taken throughout the hospital, Madigan’s OB/GYN clinic has reduced in-person appointments and as an alternative will utilize telephone appointments for many of our patients.
Labs: We are also now doing all pregnancy related labs in our clinic. Our patients can view lab results in the MHS GENESIS Patient Portal. Patients should report the clinic front desk to check in for lab work rather than going to Madigan’s main lab. Please note, glucose labs specifically, can be conducted no later than 2:00p.m.
Effective FEB 1, 2021 - OB/GYN Changes To Provide Improved Care:
All active duty and dependent patients seeking Obstetrics (pregnancies) or Gynecology (Well-Woman exams, PAP smears, contraception) care will need to contact their Primary Care Manager for a referral. Having a referral helps us improve access to care and ensure patient needs are met in a timely manner either at Madigan OBGYN or with our network providers. Active duty patients remain the highest priority for care at Madigan OBGYN, and will be deferred to the network in extenuating circumstances.
For Same-Day response about your pregnancy poncern:

Non-pregnancy related medical concerns:
For our pregnant patients who have non-pregnancy related needs for issues not directly related to their pregnancy (earaches, UTI concerns etc.) contact your PCM, or utilize an off-base Urgent Care for their acute non-obstetric appointment needs. For more info about TRICARE Urgent Care coverage and information.
