One in two women and one in four men over age 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime. Osteoporosis, often called “the silent disease,” causes no symptoms until a bone breaks. If you’ve suffered an adult fracture after age 50, you have an 87 percent chance of breaking another bone in your lifetime. The Bone Health and Osteoporosis Program is a comprehensive, coordinated and integrated approach designed to address issues related to skeletal health.
Our unique approach focuses on a thorough evaluation of the patient. We emphasize continuity of care and open lines of communication with medical providers as well as patients. We offer an onsite outpatient clinic staffed with dedicated bone health professionals and inpatient consultations on hospitalized patients.
The St. Vincent Breast Care program has a caring, compassionate approach for assessing and treating women with benign (noncancerous) breast issues, as well as all types of breast cancer. Throughout the St. Vincent Medical Group, early detection is a priority. If a woman is identified as being high risk for developing breast cancer, we have a proactive surveillance program to decrease the risk of having breast disease during one’s lifetime. See High-risk Breast Clinic.
Our breast specialists are board-certified breast surgeons and work closely with high-risk breast care nurse practitioners, patient navigators, radiologists and breast imaging technologists, radiation oncologists, medical oncologists, plastic surgeons, pathologists, genetic counselors, and supportive care and survivorship navigators so each woman has a personalized treatment plan that adapts to each woman’s needs.
Through St. Vincent Breast Care and Cancer Care in Indianapolis, Carmel Women’s Center, and Anderson Regional, you’ll have access to best-in-care technologies, including Digital Mammography, 3-D mammography (tomosynthesis), breast MRI, MarginProbe® system, SAVI SCOUT® localization, and Image-guided radiation therapy (IMRT).
Digestive Health at St. Vincent involves gastroenterologists and nurses specializing in endoscopic and gastroenterology procedures, including colonoscopy.

This minimally invasive procedure can significantly reduce the risk of developing colon cancer.
Digestive Health specialists address digestion concerns and issues related to pelvic health and treat all types of GI conditions including Crohn’s disease, gluten sensitivities and food allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, Hepatitis C, and abdominal pain and bloating.

Your baby. Your way. At the place you trust to care for you and your family. That’s the promise of Monogram Maternity at St. Vincent.
That also means you have lots of things to consider and some big choices to make. So we want to make it easy for you to get started. Here are three ways to get connected with the information and the expertise you need to make your experience a great one from the beginning.
Your personalized care begins with your Nurse Navigator – Your advocate. Your guide. Your friend.
Your Nurse Navigator is an OB nurse who not only helps you design a birth plan that’s right for you but becomes your first contact whenever you have concerns. She’ll be there for you through the many questions that pregnancy brings, to the excitement of the big day and beyond.
To find your Nurse Navigator or to schedule a Monogram Maternity appointment:
St. Vincent Women’s Health is affiliated with more than 150 physicians who specialize in general gynecology and obstetrics services.
Starting at puberty, women undergo a range of body changes that usher in a lifelong relationship with their OB/GYN. Menstruation, abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, pregnancies, fibroids, menopause (and everything in between) often affect other aspects of women’s health.
Gynecologists diagnose and treat all conditions that affect the reproductive organs and the overall health of a woman. Having an annual female exam and screening tests are shown to help detect many types of cancer and urogenital pelvic conditions when they are more easily treated. Our gynecologists make breast health a priority, and if needed will coordinate closely with breast care surgical specialists for more comprehensive testing and treatment.
St. Vincent gynecologists are highly experienced surgeons doing advanced gynecological procedures. Using high-tech equipment, such as the DaVinci® robot, surgeries are far less invasive — resulting in shorter stays at the hospital and an overall quicker recovery. Endometrial ablation is one example of a common procedure improved by technology that helps to control heavy menstrual bleeding. Using best-in-care practices, this low-impact procedure is done without making an incision.
At St. Vincent we focus on the total health of you and your baby. Together we will put a personalized birth plan in place that extends after the labor and delivery and into the home. For more information about St. Vincent Monogram Maternity program click here.
