Why women’s health matters
Women’s health is more than treating illness; it's about prevention, education and empowerment throughout every phase of life.
Early gynecological care can help young patients understand their bodies and establish healthy habits. During the reproductive years, regular checkups and screenings can detect issues early and guide important decisions around fertility and family planning. And in later life, women benefit from expert support as they navigate hormonal changes, bone health, cancer screenings and more.
Prioritizing women’s health across all stages is essential. When care is proactive and continuous, women are more likely to manage chronic conditions, prevent complications and improve their overall quality of life.
Listening first, caring always
Care at CHRISTUS Health is shaped by the understanding that every patient’s needs and experiences are different. Providers take time to truly listen, creating a safe space for women to share concerns that are often deeply personal or difficult to discuss.
“Even from early in my training, I was taught to see the whole person—mind, body and spirit,” Dr. Davies said. “You can’t treat a condition without understanding the person it affects.”
This whole-person approach allows CHRISTUS Health to build individualized care plans rooted in both medical expertise and patient values.
