Women’s Hospital

A four-story section of Wesley is the Women’s Hospital, dedicated to the care of women only. All the rooms are private. Several floors are for pregnancy and maternity care.

The fourth floor is dedicated to inpatients who have had gynecological or breast surgery, including cancer surgery. The nursing staff on this unit have won the Qualilty of Life Award, given by the Wichita Medical Research and Education Foundation, for their compassionate care.

Diagnosis and treatment

Wesley’s advanced imaging and laboratory facilities provide mammograms, tests for osteoporosis, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, cancers of the breast and reproductive organs, and many other conditions women may have.

Whether the condition is a harmless lump in the breast or advanced ovarian cancer, Wesley has the technology and expertise to provide state-of-the-art treatment. Advanced treatment options include:

• Trilogy: the world’s most advanced radiosurgery treatment for cancer
• Mammosite: breast cancer radiation therapy which minimizes radiation to healthy tissue and achieves better cosmetic results
• Laparoscopic surgery: surgeons operate using scopes inserted through very small incisions, resulting in faster healing and minimal scarring

Wesley believes treatment should consider patients’ emotional and self-image needs, pain relief, and sensitivity to the time constraints and responsibilities women have to their families and their employment.

Special programs

• Physical therapy: Outpatient treatment is available for urinary incontinence (leaking), pelvic pain, osteoporosis, musculoskeletal pain during pregnancy, musculoskeletal pain following a cesarean section or vaginal delivery, as well as changes in the pelvic floor due to childbirth or aging.
• Go Red for Women: As the official local hospital of the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement, Wesley is committed to educating women about heart health as well as providing advanced treatment for heart disease.
