"MCHC has done the footwork that allows me the freedom to pursue excellence in patient care and advocacy for my patients. In my practice, I focus on developing a partnership with my patients, helping them learn how to take control of their own health."

Care for Her
Care for Her, an innovative, by-women, for-women health unit, was established in 2002. It provides comprehensive women's health services in a sensitive and supportive environment.
Dr. Tanya Kalmar, Care for Her Program Director, is joined in clinical practice by Karen Crabtree, OB/GYN.
The program's staffing model relies on Certified Nurse-Midwives and Family Nurse-Practitioners who
have access to a broad array of support staff, including women's health specialists, nurses, health educators,
nutritionists, breastfeeding specialists, cancer specialists and lab technicians.
Continuing gynecological care for every age and stage
Care for Her provides women with full-scope gynecology services, PAP Smears, follow-up for abnormal PAPs and colposcopies;
information and education about sexual-transmitted infections, nutrition and smoking cessation; genetic screening and counseling;
blood tests, including thyroid, diabetes, cholesterol and hormonal evaluations; urinalysis; bone density/Dexascan;
mammograms; cancer screenings.
Prenatal and obstetrical care
MCHC is proud of our pregnancy care program. A seamlessly bilingual staff of professional women has created a
homelike environment where women may come to prepare for the birth of their child. Prenatal education classes create a
learning environment that allows families to further develop child-rearing skills.
The Comprehensive Perinatal Services Program (CPSP)
Care for Her offers hands-on individualized education for the pregnant mothers entering our practice. In our experience, expectant mothers welcome the opportunity to improve their skills. We know this one-on-one education supports the growing families in our communities. Classes include pregnancy education, parenting skills, nutrition, family planning, diabetes, infant care, breast-feeding and early childhood development.
