At the Charles B Wang Community Health Center, we are committed to empowering women through health education, resources, and quality health services—ensuring that every woman receives the personalized care and support she deserves.  

Early Prenatal Care: A Healthy Start for Your Baby

Care that begins early in a pregnancy is essential to ensuring a healthy start for both mother and baby. Regular prenatal checkups help to monitor the baby’s development, manage any pre-existing health conditions, and provide the mother with nutritional guidance important for a healthy pregnancy.

Routine Gynecological Checkups: Your Preventive Health Strategy

Women's bodies go through various changes at different life stages, which can affect their overall health and well-being. Regular visits to an OB/GYN are vital for staying in good reproductive health. During these visits, our providers can detect and treat a variety of health issues—like hormonal imbalances and cervical cancer—as early as possible. Seeing an OB/GYN specialist also offers an opportunity to have honest and safe conversations about contraception, planning for pregnancy, and managing menopausal symptoms.

STI and Cancer Screening: Preventive Measures Save Lives

Screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and cancers, like breast and cervical cancer, is a critical part of women's health care. Regular screenings—including HPV tests, Pap smears, and mammograms—help us detect STIs and cancers early, which often gives us better treatment options and outcomes.
