Women’s Health
We understand that as a woman, your healthcare needs change throughout your life. All of our facilities have programs that center specifically on women's health needs. Our women’s health program provides comprehensive and advanced care for women.
Labor and Delivery at HHC
Each year, more than 20,000 New York City babies are born in one of our hospitals. Our expert teams provide pregnancy, labor and delivery services for women and newborns.
We take the time to talk to you about delivery options, postpartum and newborn care. We also provide excellent midwifery services.

Breast Care at HHC
Each year, we perform more than 70,000 mammograms. Breast cancer treatment is most successful if we diagnose the disease early, so we encourage women to undergo regular screenings. Every May, we conduct a breast cancer awareness campaign, stressing the importance of regular mammograms and early cancer detection. Join our mammogram campaign and dedicate your mammogram to someone special. Learn more about our mammogram campaign.
We use an advanced mammogram system that:
- Improves physicians' ability to diagnose breast cancer
- Shortens exam time
- Maximizes comfort
