Well Woman Care

Well woman care includes regularly scheduled health screenings and your annual exam. At your annual exam, we take the opportunity to listen, to answer your questions, and to get to know you and your unique needs and make recommendations specifically for you.

We recommend the following schedule of health screenings:

• Ages 18 to 39 (or when sexually active): Annual pap smear, breast exam and routine health maintenance.
• Ages 40 to 50: All the above plus a cholesterol check and mammogram (earlier if family history).
• Ages 51 +: All the above plus colorectal cancer screening and osteoporosis screening.

These are guidelines; your family history and previous medical conditions may change what your provider feels is best for you.
