At Grand Valley Health Plan, we recognize the fact that women have unique health care needs. That's why we have special programs in place that focus on women's health issues.

Grand Valley Health Plan physicians handle routine gynecological and obstetrical care. If the services of a specialist in obstetrics or gynecology are required, you will be referred by your Primary Care Physician to one of our contracted specialists.

Women's Wellness Center

A unique service for Grand Valley Health Plan members is the Women's Wellness Center. We understand that it may be difficult for women to access preventative care during the normal business hours. That's why the Women's Wellness Center is open for Saturday appointments from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Because of many women's requests to see a female practitioner for a well woman visit, the Women 's Wellness Center is staffed exclusively by female practitioners. Well woman services that are available include pap smears, clinical breast examinations, pelvic examinations, lymph node examinations and other pertinent physical exams as determined by the provider. Mammography and cholesterol screenings are also available when needed. Women must be under 50 years of age and meet certain criteria in order to be referred. For an appointment at the Women's Wellness Center, call your Health Center for a referral.
