The Women's Health Centre began operating in July 1992. The original services provided were pregnancy options counseling, abortion, colposcopy and hysteroscopy. These services remain available to date. We began increasing our outpatient gynecology surgeries in 2000. Gynecological procedures are done under a local anesthetic, and sometimes with medicine through an intravenous, by experienced nurses and doctors. These procedures include:
Colposcopy is a special exam that allows a closer look at the cervix. Colposcopy is a technique used by gynecologists to evaluate women with an abnormal Pap smear or any abnormality involving the cervix, vagina or vulva. Hysteroscopy is a special exam that allows a closer look at the inside of the uterus. The technique is used by gynecologists to evaluate abnormal uterine bleeding or infertility, and may be used to remove an IUD. Social Workers are on staff and available to provide options counseling for anyone considering termination of pregnancy. A Medical or Surgical termination may be provided depending on the number of weeks of the pregnancy. You will be given further information upon appointment booking. Self-referral only.
