Good Health
At Any Age
Women can experience very different health needs
at different stages of their lives. Taking time out for
an annual visit to a woman's health specialist can
keep your health in balance – whether it's
your first visit or fiftieth.
"Women need to take care of their bodies, minds and
spirits at every age, and annual women's health visits are
an important part of that," says Sara Castellanos, DO,
FACOOG, board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist at
Women's WellnessCenter in Huron. "We are here to treat
the full spectrum of a woman's needs throughout her life."

wellness plan that addresses what
is already going well and what
she wants to improve in all the
important aspects of her life."
