WOMEN’S HEALTH CENTER OF
SOUTHERN OREGON
Women’s health needs are being addressed more than ever before, with targeted
care from teens through the post-menopausal years. “We are busy meeting
the needs of all women in our community,” says Tamara Medley, M.D, of the
Women’s Health Center of Southern Oregon (WHC).
In addition to prenatal care and delivering over 95 percent of the babies in Josephine County,
WHC provides many other services, all under one roof. Menopausal treatment and hormone
replacement therapy has advanced, and now includes plant-based hormones and Selective
Estrogen Reception Modulators that target specific tissue types. Women dealing with depres-
sion find help through NP Sue Moravec’s menopause support group, an onsite mental health
professional, or a behavioral health coach. In the outpatient procedure area, providers perform
biopsies and minor skin procedures, remove polyps and perform sterilization. Women with
dehydration and other pregnancy related concerns receive care in an obstetrics triage area, thus
avoiding hospital wait time and costs.
As women age, incontinence often becomes a concern. They once tried to cope alone, silent and
ashamed. WHC’s Dr. Thomas Eagan has a special interest in treatments for incontinence and
bladder issues that alleviate problems and grant peace of mind.
Richard Battey, M.D., and Melanie Turner, FNP, are certified for BRCA testing for women
with genetic cancer risks. If a woman is high risk for breast cancer and tests positive, her risk
rises from 12 percent of the general population to 60-65 percent. With ovarian cancer, the risk
increases from 1.4 percent to 39 percent. By offering this testing, WHC helps a woman and her
family make informed decisions about her options.
A woman is a unique being, and Women’s Health Center of Southern Oregon addresses that
uniqueness through comprehensive care to all women.
