After a soft launch in January, Loretto Hospital held a grand opening for its new Women’s Wellness Center on March 22. 

The center will offer gynecologic care, as well as address conditions like endometriosis, ovarian cysts, pelvic pain and polycystic ovary syndrome.

The wellness center is an effort by Loretto to address disparities in healthcare on the West Side. 

“We believe that access and investment are the antidote to communities in crisis,” Loretto Hospital President and CEO Tesa Anewishki said in a statement. “When women are well, it directly impacts the entire household, and communities thrive.”
