Attending to the Unique Needs of Women
Sunset Health offers a wide range of primary and gynecologic services to help women maintain their good health. We treat women of all ages, from adolescents and young adults, to older adults and the elderly. One of the best ways for women to develop a foundation for optimal health is to schedule regular visits with their health care provider.
Our providers take a highly preventative approach to promote wellness, screen for potential problems, manage ongoing conditions, and prevent future illnesses from developing.

At a minimum, these services include regular screening (including labs and ultrasound), ongoing monitoring of uterine and fetal growth, risk assessment, and counseling regarding childbirth, nutrition and any identified risks. Maternal- fetal medicine (i.e., perinatology) is considered a specialty service.
