RE-ENVISIONING WOMEN’S HEALTH CARE
B etween insurance cost hikes and struggling to find the best possible care, making health care decisions can often feel overwhelming. EMU Health is tackling these “health scares” by pursuing the simple yet important goal of putting patients first, and providing the borough of Queens with a level of quality care previously unavailable.
EMU Health offers a myriad of health care services, but their women’s health division is a standout thanks to their state-of-the-art technology and friendly, experienced staff. Under the supervision of Chief Clinical Officer Efrat Yaish — an accomplished women’s health care professional with over 15 years of experience in Manhattan — EMU is leading the charge in creating a women’s health experience that focuses on quality, comfort and convenience.
Gynecologists handle more than pregnancy care and wellness — they specialize in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancers and other diseases common among women. After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in American women. For the 51% of our digital readers who are female1, it’s important to know how often you should seek gynecological care, and when to schedule routine, potentially life-saving exams.
There are hundreds of doctors throughout the five boroughs, but there’s one medical facility in Queens that offers everything women may need under one roof. At EMU Health, patients can receive their entire line of treatment — from mammogram to ultrasound to biopsy to surgery — much quicker than at other sites. EMU’s newly renovated facility on Woodhaven Boulevard has its own ambulatory surgery center and radiology unit on-site for maximum convenience.
Every woman over the age of 40 should receive a yearly mammogram, and EMU Health features The Genius™ 3D Mammography for the most accurate diagnosis, paired with top physicians for the best preventive care. Unlike traditional 2D mammograms, this technology examines breast tissue one layer at a time for a more extensive exam. While standard mammograms are still effective, they can have limitations due to overlapping layers of tissue that can occasionally produce unclear results. 2 out of 3 New York Post readers have been personally affected by breast cancer
EMU knows that women’s health goes beyond breast care. They provide a full range of services to meet the health needs of women throughout their lives. Their board-certified physicians understand women’s unique needs and provide comprehensive health maintenance and exams, as well as specialized services, including minimally invasive surgery. From annual pap smears and general wellness visits, to the treatment of infertility, endometriosis, thyroid issues and more, EMU’s wide range of services and one-stop-shop convenience allows for less time scrambling, and more time healing.
All women deserve quality health care, period. EMU Health is focused on meeting the needs of women in Queens so they don’t have to travel elsewhere, or risk quality just to be able to afford care. For women in New York City, this newly renovated health care facility in Queens is a testament to the spirit of progress and community engagement that EMU Health embodies. Their mission to put patients first by truly serving this vibrant community will help women for generations to come.
“In 2018, an estimated 266,120 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S.” (Source: www.breastcancer.org) “We’re excited to lead the charge in ensuring women all across Queens have access to top health care services. We are in a position to provide top rated and highly sophisticated health care, paving the way to becoming one of the leading health care centers outside of Manhattan but within Queens.” - Efrat Yaish, Chief Clinical Officer
