Following is a list of sponsors who make the Women’s Health Experience™ possible:
Each stage of a woman’s life creates health needs that require a special kind of care. Whether a woman is experiencing the natural changes that occur throughout a lifetime or has specific health problems, our dedicated, compassionate staff and highly skilled physicians ensure every woman receives the highest level of care. Ranked among the top 40 hospitals in the nation for gynecology care by U.S. News & World Report , The Christ Hospital is a leader in women’s health. Our services range from a Birthing Center, complete with feng shui and hydrotherapy birthing suites, to the Women’s Imaging Center, offering the city’s first direct digital-ray technology to screen for breast cancer. In our continuing commitment to women’s health, we have also developed The Christ Hospital Pelvic Floor Center. This highly specialized center brings together urogynecologists and colon-rectal specialists and surgeons who use their expertise to provide the very best treatment for pelvic floor conditions.
At AMS, we provide the proven medical treatments that can help restore women’s pelvic health, giving them renewed confidence and peace of mind. Several of our treatments are so minimally invasive that they can be performed in the comfort and convenience of a doctor's office. In fact, this is a distinction that guides our future development. We will continue to increase our offering of minimally invasive procedures, the next-generation therapies preferred by women and their doctors. AMS has emerged as a leader in women’s health. We offer more products and procedures for female continence than any other medical device company. We have defined the pelvic floor repair market with two new prolapse solutions, Perigee and Apogee. We have delivered on the promise of comfort and safety for uterine health patients as can only be realized in a physician’s office. Our growing market prominence is the result of deep technical expertise, an understanding of women’s pelvic health needs and our close collaboration with surgical gynecologists and urologists.
