Information about East Jefferson General Hospital's women’s care
At East Jefferson General Hospital, women rule. They win World Cups, manage
nations and corporations, and most importantly, make healthcare decisions
for themselves, their families, and even eventually for their parents.
Women do a lot, and that’s why we’ve built entire healthcare
service lines with you in mind. Our goal is to provide all women’s
services with heart, making them as convenient and personalized as possible.

Each year, nearly 27,000 women in Louisiana will be diagnosed with breast
cancer. Almost 10,000 will die from the disease. The best tools we have
to prevent these deaths are awareness and mammography.
The Breast Care Center at East Jefferson General Hospital is the region’s
most advanced and full-service center for breast cancer diagnosis and
prevention. Our radiologists specialize in breast cancer diagnoses, which
means that the best doctors use our advanced technology to provide you
with the best care. That specialization gives you the greatest levels
of confidence in both what we detect and, just as importantly, what we
don’t find.
When it is time for you to start or add to your family, turn to East Jefferson
General Hospital’s Women and Newborn team to ensure you and your
baby have the safest, healthiest experience possible. Nowhere in our region
will you find a more complete program to carry you through prenatal care,
a safe and healthy birthing process, lactation education, postpartum care, and more.
From the birthing experience to our highly qualified NICU physicians and
nurses, we deliver healthcare with heart for both momma and baby. We have
been recognized by clinical experts as the most advanced center for safe
birthing experiences. But just as importantly, nowhere will you find a
more caring, professional, dedicated staff than here. Every day, we do
what we do for the families trusting us with the delivery of their babies.
A
hysterectomy is a surgery to remove the uterus. But with today’s minimally invasive
techniques, hysterectomy surgeries are unlike anything before. The incisions
are dramatically smaller. The surgical time, hospital stay, and recovery
time are shorter. And the results are superior. East Jefferson General
Hospital helped pioneer this more patient-friendly approach to surgeries
in this region, and over the past decade, we have continuously raised
the bar in providing extraordinary care and outcomes.
Most importantly, you’ll have peace of mind with continuity of care:
the same surgeon who performs your hysterectomy is also there to assist
in all other aspects of your menopausal and post-menopausal health.
