Get perspective on the latest health headlines at Virginia Physicians for Women.
Talk to your doctor. Every health news article you read or broadcast report you see or hear should stress that you and your doctor are the people best qualified – in fact, the only people qualified – to make decisions about your medical care.
It’s particularly critical advice in the fast-moving field of women’s health, where every day produces a headline that seems to contradict the banner news of the day before. From Hormone Replacement Therapy and dietary supplements to genetic screening, mammograms, even fetal cognitive development, the debates are as diverse as women themselves…and opinions vary wildly.
On these pages, Virginia Physicians for Women brings you the latest health headlines and, when warranted, our analysis of the news. We’ve also included some links of interest, should you care to research a topic or contact an organization (we neither support nor endorse any particular group), all with the caveat: Talk to your doctor.
