You have a lot of choices for your health care, including clinicians and doctors who provide primary care for everything from coughs and colds, to heavy periods and pregnancy to menopause and beyond.

• Family medicine – Many women choose to see a family medicine doctor because family doctors care for everyone in your family—from new baby to grandma. They handle everything from preventive screenings to prenatal care, so they get to know you well over time and become familiar with your family’s medical history.
• Internal medicine – Internal medicine doctors focus on caring for adults. They provide a wide range of services, including preventive care and health screenings. They treat conditions specific to women’s health, as well as minor illnesses, injuries and chronic conditions.
• OB-GYNs and midwives – OB-GYNs and midwives specialize in women’s health. They can practice within a primary care office or a specialty clinic and provide routine women’s health services and screenings. They also care for you during milestones such as family planning, pregnancy, childbirth and menopause.
• Physician assistants and nurse practitioners – Physician assistants and nurse practitioners provide medical care and are licensed to diagnose and treat illness, manage chronic diseases and prescribe medication for patients.
  

In many of our clinics, family medicine, internal medicine, OB-GYNs, midwives, physician assistants and nurse practitioners all work together. This means you can choose the doctor who is the best fit for you, knowing a whole team is there to support you.

You can get started by making an appointment online.

Or you can also choose a doctor or choose a location to get started.

From skin, to periods and breast health, to nutrition and sleep, each woman is wonderfully unique. The truth is that everyone has a different “normal.” But, if something about your health has changed, we can help you sort it out.

Our primary care doctors and OB-GYNs are trained to care for women throughout all stages of life. Specialists are trained to treat the most complex conditions, especially those that don’t respond to the most common course of treatment. If you need something more, we’ve got the best women's health specialists on our team.

If you need care but can’t make the trip, don’t worry. There are still ways to get expert help from one of our women’s health specialists.

With e-visits, you can receive quick care for dozens of common conditions, including UTIs, yeast infections and BV. You can also use an e-visit to get a prescription for the birth control pill, ring or patch. Just answer a few questions and you have a personalized treatment plan in as little as two hours. And if you need a prescription, we’ll send it to the pharmacy of your choice.

Video visits are another option for personalized care without leaving home. Video visits let you talk face to face with a doctor or clinician for the same expert advice you’d expect in person.

At HealthPartners and Park Nicollet, you have more choices and more ways to personalize your health care than ever before. Choose a convenient option when you need help right away from urgent care to getting a prescription while in line at the coffee shop. Or choose someone you’d like to see for years whether that’s a family medicine doctor, OB-GYN, nurse practitioner or midwife.

No matter which doctors and specialists you see, the visit will be part of your one medical record. That means all your information will be in one convenient place.

And as your needs change during different life stages and over time, we’ll work together to keep you healthy. That’s just one of the reasons we’ve been recognized as a leader in women’s health. From our dedicated Women’s Center to the Jane Brattain Breast Center and birth centers at Regions Hospital and Methodist Hospital, we’ve created specialty centers that focus exclusively on great care for women.
