WOMEN'S SPECIALTY SERVICES
Women require more than just OB/GYN care, and here at Cambridge
Health Alliance we have developed many specialty services that address
more complex health needs. We have recently invested in facilities,
equipment and staff to increase our capacity in caring for women
including primary care services, diagnostic testing, to surgical
services, and counseling.
Diabetes Care
Cambridge Health Alliance's Diabetes Management program is recognized
by the American Diabetes Association and our staff includes certified
diabetes educators, registered nurses and nutritional support staff.
We also use a planned care model to care for diabetes patients by
using a team approach.
Family Medicine & Primary Care
With over 20
primary care centers in Cambridge, Somerville and Boston's Metro-North
Communities, women and families can take advantage of the Alliance's
top primary care services. We offer internal medicine, pediatrics,
geriatrics and family medicine.
The Family Medicine Department is an integral part of Women's Health
Services, as family practitioners also see patients for prenatal
care and deliver babies at the Cambridge Campus. Alliance family
practice sites include Union
Square Family Health, East
Somerville Family Health, Riverside
Health Center, North
Cambridge Health Center, and the CHA
Malden Family Medicine Center.
Women's Headache Center
Our headache management program is provided in conjunction with
our outstanding Neurology team. Click

Nutrition Services
Eating healthy is important when it comes to maintaining one's
weight, maximizing one's energy, and especially when eating for
two. Upon referral by a PCP, our Registered Dietitians with advanced
training in high risk prenatal and adult chronic disease, provide
medical nutrition therapy as part of the management of diseases
or conditions. In addition to one-on-one meetings, our nutritionists
offer our patients healthy eating seminars such as "Food for
the Body & Soul" and "Eating for Two." Also,
many of our patients benefit from our 8-week program, "Be Well…Women,
Weight Management and Wellness," which teaches weight management
skills, and more importantly, teaches lifestyle changes. Click

Osteoporosis Care
Our bone health program, offered in partnership with our Department
of Orthopaedics, helps menopausal women treat bone loss, or osteoporosis.

Women's Mental Health Services
Our world-class mental health programs, offered jointly with our
Harvard-affiliated Department of Psychiatry, are available for women.
These include couples therapy, behavioral therapy, and a variety
of support groups. We also provide special seminars like our "one-hour
spa for women" that helps women better manage stress and depression.

unique to our female population. Using the latest technology, we
