The University Medical Center has received recognition from Becker’s Hospital Review as one of the top “100 Hospitals with Great Women’s Health Programs.” The list names hospitals across the nation that offer “outstanding programs within women’s health, including gynecology, obstetrics, reproductive medicine and other gender-specific conditions and health needs.”
Becker’s Hospital Review, a bimonthly publication that provides information on health care-related legal and business news, looked at clinical accolades, quality care and women’s health proficiencies and awards to compile the list.
Last month’s review cited the University’s up-and-coming research in the field of women’s health, as well as a number of accolades the University has received. “U.Va. is one of only 12 hospitals recognized by the Virginia Department of Health for its support to breastfeeding mothers, and it also has the region’s only program for women who are at high risk for breast and ovarian cancers,” the magazine said.
The magazine also mentioned the U.Va. Mammography project, a 4,000-person clinical trial funded by the U.S. Department of Defense to study the importance of breast density as a risk factor during the breast cancer screening process.
The alphabetically-listed collection includes other university hospitals such as Duke University Hospital, Emory University Hospital, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania , the University of Chicago Medical Center and many other non-university affiliated health providers.
