Jupiter Medical Center helps local women take charge of their health

Women’s health is a hot topic in medicine today, and with good cause.

• Heart disease is the number one cause of death of women, claiming more American women’s lives than the next seven causes of death combined, according to the American Heart Association.
• The American Cancer Society reports that of the 668,470 estimated cancer cases to affect women in 2004, women will suffer most from breast, lung, colorectal and uterine cancers.
• Eighty percent of those affected by osteoporosis are women. One in two women over age 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in her remaining lifetime, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation.
• And more than one-third of women older than 20 years are obese, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Our experienced staff will walk you through the steps for a healthier tomorrow. We will discuss your risk factors, evaluate your lifestyle, make lifestyle and other recommendations, help you schedule needed screenings and offer you many of the tools you need for a healthier tomorrow.  

We can detect conditions, including cancer, when they are just beginning to affect your body and are most treatable. Jupiter Medical Center offers you an array of state-of-the-art diagnostic services performed by clinicians highly experienced in the special healthcare needs of women. These services include screenings that can reveal often symptom-less warning signs of diseases that affect women, including breast cancer and osteoporosis. Together, we can detect early changes and even prevent or stop a disease in its tracks, so that you can live a healthy, long life. 

Talk with your doctor today about making an appointment for your mammography, ultrasound or bone densitometry. Should something suspicious arise, we offer advanced equipment and the specialized services of clinicians to perform breast biopsies, ultrasound-guided biopsies, stereotactic biopsies and needle localizations. Jupiter Medical Center’s Women’s Diagnostics was among the first in Florida to offer our community state-of-the-art digital mammography.  

Wellness, weight management and stress reduction are important considerations in the lives of women. We’ll help you structure a program for optimal weight loss or body toning. And we’ll help you stay fit with exercises designed just for you at our Wellness Center. In conjunction with our Mind/Body Institute, which offers yoga, Pilates, massage and much more to help relieve your stress.  

We’re here for women of every age and every life stage, including your pregnancy and baby’s birth, through mid-life and on.

Women Talk is Jupiter Medical Center’s monthly community health series, designed especially with women in mind. Support groups help many get through the rigors of illness.
