OB-GYN

Mee Memorial Healthcare System offers a breadth of services geared towards keeping women healthy.

Our practitioners are experienced in providing care to teens and women of all ages. We help provide access to services for uninsured women through many local and federal programs and will help patients register for these services.

The following are the services we provide:

Prenatal and Post-Partum Care:

Our providers include Family practice doctors who can take care of the whole family in addition to womens’ needs. They are fellowship trained specifically in obstetrics and offer a family centered approach to pregnancy care with a focus on the care of women, infants and children. We are able to help you decide on the right time to start or expand your family and are able to promote the best health for both mothers and their children.
