Women's health - patients in our ob/gyn department feel well cared for whether they are receiving prenatal or gynecological care. Our physicians deliver that care with compassion, professionalism and confidentiality. All providers, as in the rest of the organization, are board certified and serve on the staff of all the major metropolitan hospitals. So women have a choice about where to have their surgeries performed or their babies delivered. Pediatrics and teen health - regular check-ups are important for the health and well being of children. Our pediatrics department treats illness common to children, provides health check screenings and all immunizations for children up to age 17, and offers sports physicals upon request. Referrals are made from this area to the dentist, optometrist, asthma department or other specialist as needed. During this period, the organization also provided covid testing and vaccines. Each year the pediatrics department sponsors an annual immunization drive where, for one day only, children may receive all of their shots and dental and hearing screenings free of charge. This festive occasion also features cartoon characters in costume, food, music, games and free school supplies to a limited number of attendees.”
