Women's Health

A woman’s health care needs change throughout every stage of life, from adolescence through pregnancy, motherhood and beyond. Monument Health brings together obstetricians, gynecologists, oncologists, lactation consultants and breast health specialists to provide coordinated, comprehensive care close to home.


Obstetrics & Gynecology

Monument Health’s Obstetrics & Gynecology providers offer care for every stage of a woman’s reproductive life, including annual wellness exams, prenatal care, family planning, minimally invasive surgery and treatment for gynecologic conditions. Patients build long-term relationships with providers who understand their health history and personal goals.

Labor & Delivery

Monument Health’s Labor & Delivery units are staffed around the clock by experienced obstetric nurses and physicians prepared for both routine deliveries and high-risk pregnancies. Private birthing suites, on-site anesthesia and immediate access to a Level III NICU give families confidence that expert care is available the moment it’s needed.

Lactation Services

Lactation consultants work one-on-one with new mothers to support breastfeeding goals, troubleshoot challenges and build confidence in the early weeks after delivery. Services are available during the hospital stay and through outpatient follow-up visits.

Gynecologic Oncology

Gynecologic Oncology diagnoses and treats cancers of the reproductive system, including ovarian, uterine, cervical and vulvar cancers. Patients have access to surgical, medical and radiation oncology under one roof, along with genetic counseling and support services throughout treatment and recovery.

Mammography

Monument Health offers 3D mammography for routine screening and diagnostic imaging, with same-day results available at several locations. Radiologists specializing in breast imaging read every study, and patients with abnormal findings are connected quickly to follow-up care.

Breast Surgery

Breast surgeons provide evaluation and treatment for benign and cancerous breast conditions, including lumpectomy, mastectomy and breast reconstruction coordination.

Comprehensive Care

The Best Choice for Women's Health

Women across the region choose Monument Health because care here is personal, coordinated and close to home. Obstetricians, gynecologists, oncologists, radiologists and lactation consultants collaborate directly with one another, keeping care plans connected rather than scattered across separate practices, while investment in advanced technology and minimally invasive surgical options means patients have convenient access to care. That comprehensive, one-system approach is backed by more than 145 years of caring for women and families across western South Dakota, Wyoming and Nebraska — a legacy generations of women have relied on from their first wellness exam through every stage of life that follows.
