Women's Health & Pregnancy
Women's Health refers to comprehensive women’s health care as well as health issues that are unique to women, including:
- Pregnancy
- Menopause
- Conditions of the Female Organs
Be sure to get early and regular prenatal care to ensure you have a healthy pregnancy. You should also get recommended breast cancer, cervical cancer, and bone density screenings.
Our goal is to ensure the health and readiness of all women at every stage of life.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology
OB/GYN Changes To Provide Improved Care
All active duty and dependent patients seeking Obstetrics (pregnancies) or Gynecology (Well-Woman exams, PAP tests, 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 OB/GYN or with our network providers. Active duty patients remain the highest priority for care at Madigan OB/GYN, and will be deferred to the network in extenuating circumstances.
