FAYETTEVILLE--North Medical PC announced the opening of The Women's Place at Northeast Medical Center recently, billing it as "the area's first totally comprehensive women's wellness center." (Another such center, Choices, has since opened at Medical Center West.)

The Women's Place offers healthcare services to women and girls of all ages. The multi-specialty practice allows them access to a family physician, internist, gynecologist, and preventive medicine in one location. The 10,000-sq.-ft. center, developed by Susan Merola McConn, M.D. and A. John Merola, M.D., is located on the first floor of the Northeast Medical Center.

The practice's director, Merola-McConn, says The Women's Place is "solidly focused on providing access to quality care for a woman's body, mind, and spirit." She explains that today's lifestyles dictate the need to provide women access to healthcare that is convenient and encompasses the needs of the total woman.

"Women require primary and gynecological care," adds Merola-McConn, "but are equally troubled by other health concerns such as cardiac stress, incontinence, menopause management, and osteoporosis, to name just a few."

To meet these needs, The Women's Place offers such diagnostic exams as Pap smears, mammography, bone-density analysis, general X-ray, cardiac-stress testing, flexible sigmoidoscopy, minor surgical procedures, as well as routine physicals and preventive care. Services are provided for birth control, exercise prescriptions, hearing tests, hormone problems, infertility, immunizations, laparoscopy, pre-menstrual syndrome, smoking cessation, ultrasound, hyperlipidemia management, and other women's health needs.

In addition, patients of The Women's Place have access to care 24 hours a day, every day of the year, through Northeast Medical Urgent Care, which is located in the same building. "And as part of North Medical PC," says Merola-McConn, "medical records can be accessed by the attending urgent-care physician through the practice's shared, state-of-the-art medical-records system," which enables vital access to the patient's medical history during an urgent situation.
