Center cares for women through all stages of life

Banner Thunderbird Medical Center introduced an all-inclusive women’s health center Wednesday to cater to the reproductive health of women of all ages.

The center will enable patients to get all of their examinations, lab work, ultrasound and other procedures done in a centralized spot, instead of being shuffled around the hospital to different locations for each part of the process.

"The goal of the center is to provide comprehensive care to women who are preconception all the way through the life span, to help with her obstetric and gynecological issues," said Amy Warengo, a registered nurse and senior manager of the center.

The center offers Banner Health’s first three-dimensional sonohysterography, which allows doctors to see the inside of a uterus with clarity and detail not possible with a traditional ultrasound.

The pain-free procedure involves inserting a transducer and saline fluid through the cervix, then using ultrasound technology to see the uterus in 3-D form.
