Women's Services

Men and women have different healthcare needs. So why do most healthcare systems treat them in exactly the same way?

At Catholic Health, we understand that symptoms can present themselves differently in a woman’s body, and that what works for him doesn’t always get the same results for her.

Many of our women's services are offered at the Piver Center at Sisters Hospital in Buffalo. The Piver Center opened in 2010 and brings together a variety of women's health services and wellness programs in a warm and inviting setting.

Pregnancy and Parenting

Nutrition and Weight Loss

Medical Treatment and Support
