At Southeast Missouri Hospital,
we don't just deliver babies. We deliver health
services for women of all ages.
Women have special health care needs, and our
women's services are specifically designed for
those needs.
In fact, many of the services have been developed
by women. Women who know what it's like to have
something as serious as breast cancer.
Women who know what a positive difference shaping
up can make.
Women who know that life's little stresses can
be made a lot more bearable by sharing some of
those bumps along life's roadway with others. |
| Medical and Educational
Services
Specialized medical services for women at Southeast
include Gynecology and Gynecological Surgery and
surgery and treatment for breast cancer. It's
natural for women to have concerns about some
of these procedures. We know that. Our understanding
staff is always available to answer questions
or just listen for a while. Breast cancer patients
with secondary lymphedema find the specialized
help they need at Southeast. |

Outpatient Rehabilitation
Services
Information on a wealth of health issues is also
available to patients and the community thorough
Southeast's Generations Health Information Center.
The Hospital also regularly hosts programs of
special interest to women - on health topics such
as menopause, osteoporosis and diabetes, and lifestyle
topics such as caring for aging parents and sensible
dieting.
Support Groups
Women facing difficult times find warm support
from groups such as the "We Can" Support
Group and Reach to Recovery for cancer patients.
"Mothers of Multiples" offers special
moral support for moms who have double or even
triple the fun with twins and triplets. Those
who have lost a spouse and are faced with financial,
emotional and parenting challenges find strength
through a grief support group.
