If you leave the waiting area, and there is no one to answer the telephone, you may miss a chance to talk to the doctor. Listed below are the numbers for telephones in waiting areas.

For the health of our patients, employees, and visitors, we ask that you please extinguish all smoking materials before exiting your vehicle.Woman’s Hospital is proud to lead the way to a smoke-free environment.
