Your Home for Women's Care
Women’s health needs change over time. At NWPC, your provider supports you through these changes, from preventive care and reproductive health to menopause and long-term wellness. Our goal is to make care feel more coordinated and supportive, so you can focus on your health. This includes mammography and bone density scans available through NWPC’s Integrated Care location, health education, and more.
That is how women's health works at Northwest Primary Care. We offer comprehensive women's care within our primary care practice, with a focus on supporting women through every phase of life.
What Women's Care Is Like at NWPC
Women’s health at NWPC is an ongoing relationship with a provider who tracks your health across time, helps to catch things before they become serious, and works with you on the conditions that require consistent management.
Women's care at NWPC covers:
Annual wellness exams and preventive screenings
Pap smears and cervical health
Breast health and on-site mammography
Pre-conception care
Postpartum care and follow-up
Contraception and family planning
Menopause and perimenopause management
Bone density and osteoporosis screening
Thyroid and hormonal health
Cardiovascular risk in women
Mental health care
On-Site Mammography
If you’ve had a mammogram, you may have been referred to a separate imaging center that required you to schedule with an unfamiliar office, and then wait for your results to travel between two separate offices before reaching your door.
At NWPC, we offer mammography at our Northwest Integrated Care location for NWPC patients. This means you schedule your appointment with a familiar team and your provider has easy access to your results, eliminating the hassle of coordinating with two separate facilities. Your provider will help you understand your results within the context of your full health history.Â
Preventive Care Across Every Decade
Women's preventive care looks different at different stages of life. In your twenties and thirties, preventive care may include more of a focus on establishing healthy baselines and staying current on screenings. In your forties and fifties, preventive care includes mammograms, bone density screening, assessing cardiovascular risk, and managing the hormonal transition. In your sixties and beyond, it is protecting the health you have built and making sure to check for any developing concerns.Â
Your NWPC provider maintains a preventive care plan built around your age, your history, and your specific risk factors. Annual exams serve as the checkpoint.
Menopause and Perimenopause
The years around menopause can bring changes that affect sleep health, mood, bone health, heart health, and overall wellbeing. Because every person’s experience is different, care should reflect your symptoms, health history, and priorities.
Your NWPC provider can help you understand available options, which may include hormone therapy, lifestyle approaches, recommended screenings, or monitoring for health concerns that become more common after menopause. The goal is to support you with care that feels appropriate, informed, and personalized.
Mental Health Screening
Anxiety and depression are common, and many women experience these concerns at different points in life. Because mental health is closely connected to overall wellbeing, NWPC providers include mental health screening as a routine part of women’s health care.
If a concern is identified, your provider will talk with you about next steps and help you consider options that feel appropriate for your situation. This may include counseling, medication, referral to a mental health specialist, or a combination of approaches. Our goal is to ensure you feel heard, supported, and connected to the care that best meets your needs.
A Provider Who Knows You
Many women tell us that feeling heard is one of the most important parts of their care. Having a provider who takes time to listen, understand concerns, and consider the full context of your health can make a meaningful difference over time.
At NWPC, the relationship with your provider is designed to build over time. Your questions, symptoms, and health goals are part of an ongoing conversation, helping your provider recognize changes and offer guidance that reflects your history.
This kind of continuity helps support women’s health in a way that feels more personal, more connected, and better aligned with your individual needs.
