This initiative aims to deliver comprehensive, coordinated care for women in Manhattan and Westchester, US, with particular emphasis on menopause and perimenopause.
The women’s health programme is structured around each patient’s obstetrician / gynaecologist (OB/GYN), who will work in close collaboration with a multidisciplinary team from Columbia and NewYork-Presbyterian.
The approach replaces fragmented appointments with ongoing, coordinated care throughout a woman’s life, supporting patients to take an active role in managing their health.
Led by Fazzalari Women’s Health director and OB-GYN Dr Mary Rosser, the initiative addresses women’s evolving needs across the lifespan.
