benefits of the suite
The Deanne Reeve Pelvic Health Suite will revolutionize the delivery of pelvic health care, enhancing access and efficiency in multiple areas:
•Hysteroscopy will now be available two days a week, providing faster and easier access to diagnosis and treatment for uterine conditions.
