Our practice is based on the knowledge of the impact of gender on all aspects of a woman's body. We recognize that well being depends on the psycological, social, spiritual and physical health. We honor western, traditional and complementary approaches. We are dedicated to a woman's right to fully informed treatment.

WHS provides primary care through our Family Practice physicians and Certified Nurse Practitioners and specialty care across a broad range of services including Acupuncture, Bone Density Testing, Gynecology, Integrated Behavioral Health Counseling, Internal Medicine, Menopausal Therapies and Massage.
