Nine months ago the obstetrics/gynecology practice Grand Rapids Women's Health moved into the Women's Health Center of West Michigan,
a new construction project that members of the practice spearheaded.
Since moving in, the practice has attracted some 180 to 200 new
patients that have been served by additional staff.
"We've added two new physicians and
each of them will have about three support staff of a nurse, a
scheduler and a support biller. They'll start later this summer," says
Dr. Adam Blickley, OB/GYN. Blickley was on the ground floor of planning
and developing the Women's Health Center, 555 Mid Towne NE. "We're also
continuing to expand the scope of services that we offer for women to
achieve our goal."
Those services include prenatal and
obstetrical care, gynecologic specialties, surgeries and surgical care
and clinical research. A specialty division of the practice is the Female Pelvic Medicine and Urogynecology Institute of Michigan, which treats conditions including incontinence, Interstitial Cystitis and pelvic pain.
Earlier this week, the Women's Health
Center installed a lighted sign on the building, overlooking the I-196
expressway east of College to mark the first nine months since
completion of the building.
"Patients are impressed with the
facility, its central location and ease of access, and they like having
ancillary services such as mammography, a lab and physical therapy on
site," Dr. Blickley adds.
