The mission of the physicians and nurse-midwives at SWHC is to meet women’s health care needs by bringing our professional skills and compassionate presence to create lasting healthcare partnerships with the women in our care. We provide routine check-ups and annual well-woman exams, as well as care during adolescence, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menopause.
Our commitment to continuing medical education and midwifery education along with our personal approach to care have earned us the trust of women in the Shenandoah Valley since 1999. Now, check us out on Facebook.
The decision to have a baby is personal and life changing for all women and their partners.
