WOMEN'S HEALTH
There's a lot to think about when you're pregnant! At Amoskeag Health, we understand that being pregnant can impact your mental health just as much as your physical health. Prenatal Care is a group effort that involves initial screenings by a team that includes mental health professionals, nutritionists, and prenatal nurses.
Amoskeag Health partners with Dartmouth Health to provide comprehensive prenatal care. Our skilled providers work together to guide and support you throughout your pregnancy, including your care leading up to and during delivery at Elliot Hospital.
Prenatal Care
Amoskeag Health offers Gynecologic Care for healthy female reproductive systems including pap smears, breast exams, STD & STI testing/treatment, and pregnancy testing.
We can also provide colposcopy (cervical examination) and LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedures) to identify, test, and treat abnormal cell growth in the cervix.
Gynecology Services
Amoskeag Health has a full-time Community Health Worker (CHW) who works with patients that are due to receive preventive cervical and breast cancer screenings. The CHW assists patients who are unsure about being screened or patients who are experiencing barriers to care such as difficulties with transportation, interpretation, or costs of services.
Amoskeag Health is also a Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (BCCP) screening site for the State of NH providing free breast and cervical cancer screening to eligible patients. We have a nurse who assists patients that may be eligible to receive free breast and cervical cancer screenings if they are uninsured. An Amoskeag Health Nurse provides education, support, and assistance to navigate through the program’s options. The cancer screening program is supported by funding from the State of NH’s Department of Health and Human Services BCCP Program and Dartmouth Hitchcock’s NH Colorectal Cancer Screening Program. Please talk to your Primary Care Provider for more information.
