Women's Services at The Women's Center
All the care you need in one place
Ours is the first hospital in the area to offer virtually all of the women’s
health care services you need in one location. Physician offices, obstetric
care, fertility care, breast care services, gynecology, laboratory testing,
diagnostics, surgery, birthing suites – all are located within the Women’s
Center on the fourth floor of our hospital. What’s more, our hospital offers a
totally different health care environment for women.
The Women’s Center features natural lighting, comfortable living room
settings and private patient hallways to put you at ease. Patients and their
families can also make use of a convenient resource center, library, and
separate, on-site family accommodations within the hospital. We want you and
your family to feel at home while at Aurora BayCare Medical Center.
Breast Health Services
Aurora BayCare Medical Center offers you complete breast care capabilities in
one convenient location – everything from cancer prevention and education to
treatment, rehabilitation and breast reconstruction.
We offer radiologic
exams for women over the age of 40, knowing that early detection is key to
treating and surviving breast cancer.
 For
this reason alone, Aurora BayCare Medical Center was the first hospital in the
Green Bay area to invest in what is truly a landmark in breast cancer screening
– full field digital mammography. This state-of-the-art computerized X-ray
technology captures high-resolution images of the breast electronically … making
for a faster, more accurate diagnosis and possibly earlier detection of
cancerous tissues.
Should cancer be detected, the Women’s Center gives you access to a variety
of oncology and radiology specialists as well as plastic and reconstructive
surgeons to help explain your treatment options.
If breast removal is necessary, reconstruction can often be done immediately
following surgery. Advances in reconstructive techniques have opened many
options for patients seeking reconstruction. Surgeons can now create a breast
that resembles a normal breast in every way. Our surgeons will discuss with you
the treatment option that best meets your needs and desires.
Urogynecology and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery Center
Urogynecology is a subspecialty within Obstetrics and Gynecology dedicated to
the treatment of women with pelvic floor disorders. Urogynecologists manage
conditions such as urinary incontinence and prolapse (bulging) of the vagina,
bladder and/or the uterus.
Most women with urinary incontinence suffer in silence, believing the
condition to be a normal part of aging. But it isn’t. Urinary incontinence is
linked to childbirth and menopause, and can also be caused by stress, urinary
tract infections, pelvic injuries, and even by certain medications. It’s a more
common condition than many women think, affecting 5 to 10% of all women, and
nearly one in four women over 65.
At Aurora BayCare Medical Center, we provide comprehensive evaluation and
effective medical and surgical treatment for urinary incontinence and other
pelvic floor disorders. We evaluate every individual’s condition and develop a
treatment plan designed around lifestyle and personal preference. Treatment may
include behavioral therapy, exercise, non-invasive surgical techniques and
surgical intervention. The Urogynecology and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery
Center offers a team of professionals experienced in performing simple and
complex procedures for correcting problems of vaginal function and support. We
provide the latest treatment options and resources available to ensure the best
results.
