Womancare Center of UPMC Horizon
Affiliated with Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC
The Womancare Center of UPMC Horizon combines the values, mission, and vision of UPMC with the passion of Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC to provide quality health care to women and their families.
Through its resources, the Womancare Center offers advanced technology, a direct link to research and educational programs, and a standard of care based on Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC.
The Womancare Center follows the philosophy of care developed at Magee to treat women with dignity, empower them through education, and offer to them advanced comprehensive care.
Our approach combines multiple services under one roof, including a diagnostic center, a variety of specialty physician offices, ongoing community education programs, a focus on wellness and prevention, and partnerships with outside agencies to advance the level of services available for women across the lifespan.
Our affiliation with Magee enables our physicians and staff to receive the same continuing education and training to ensure consistency with Magee’s mission.
Services

The whole family can benefit from the Womancare Center’s diagnostic services. Men, women, and children are encouraged to use the facility for their testing needs.
Diagnostic services available at the Womancare Center include:

- Laboratory services (blood draws)
- DXA (bone mineral density scans)
- 3D mammography
- 3D stereotactic breast biopsy

Same-day mammography results
No one likes to wait for test results, especially if those results could indicate something serious. However, women who undergo diagnostic mammograms at UPMC Horizon-Greenville or the Womancare Center will receive their results the same day as the test.
Also, in most cases, scheduling for any follow-up testing needed following a diagnostic mammogram may be made the same day.
This initiative is modeled after a standard established by Magee to decrease the time of uncertainty that falls between having a mammogram and receiving the diagnosis. Each woman who has a mammogram at a UPMC Horizon facility receives a report card detailing the procedure, findings, and recommendations.
