Care we provide at VA Boston health care

Our women's health program offers women Veterans comprehensive care, including:

  • Primary care
  • Gynecology
  • Maternity care, childbirth education classes, and postpartum support
  • Ultrasounds and mammograms
  • Mental health care and counseling

Women's Comprehensive Primary Care offers "one stop shopping" primary care. Women Veterans are scheduled to see specially trained primary care providers who also provide gender specific primary care. Women's Health providers are available in all of our clinic locations. We have two comprehensive primary care clinics, in Jamaica Plain and Brockton, where women can see their primary care provider as well as providers from Maternity Care and Gynecology.

Women Veterans Call Center provides women Veterans information about VA services and resources, benefits, and eligibility. The toll-free line is available Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m. ET and on Saturdays 8:00 a.m.–6:30 p.m. ET. Please see our Women Veterans Call Center website or call 855-VA-WOMEN -- .
