Objectives
BAMC has had a vision for comprehensive Women’s
Health Services for many years:
“Grow Women’s
Health Services through comprehensive,
contemporary care delivered with a compassionate
focus on the needs of women through all phases
of life.”
In a business plan presented to our Board of
Directors in 2007, the plan for this Service Line had a
two-phased rollout, beginning with a “virtual” Center
as the first phase of developing services that would
be remarketed under the BAMC Women’s Health
Center brand.
The second phase was the completion of a building
project in 2008-2009 to provide a consolidated
physical location for a dedicated Center offering a
wide range of women’s services.
Unfortunately, many factors including purchasing our
land and buildings from Marinette County and
economic downturns prevented our full realization of
the vision at that time.
Process
The design team included:
• Our Women’s Health Service Line Leader
• ABAMG OB providers’ office leaders
• Our Breast Health Navigators
• Our bladder health rehab staff and leader
• Our ultrasound staff
• Our Mammography Manager
Many hours were spent assuring a design that
provided convenience of access, a very good patient
experience, and contemporary technology.
The Women’s Health Center will be located on the
second floor of the new Medical Office building,
adjacent to surgery, convenient for women who have
guided needle placements for open breast biopsies.
