OB/GYN Services in Indiana

Obstetric and gynecology services at NorthShore Health Centers are offered by experienced, board-certified obstetricians and collaborating midwives who bring complete care to our patients. We realize that having a baby should be one of lifeโ€™s most exciting experiences; however, pregnancy can also be very stressful. The birth of each baby has a lasting impact on the physical and mental health of a mother. NorthShore Health Centersโ€™ broad range of programs and expertise help women prepare for pregnancy, then guide them through routine or high-risk pregnancies to the birth of the baby. Our offices throughout Northwestย Indiana, go beyond basic gynecologist and obstetrician services to focus on the whole health of both mother and child.

At NorthShore Health Centers we have a strong focus on prenatal care during pregnancy. The goal of prenatal care is to monitor the progress of a pregnancy and to identify potential problems before they become serious for either mom or baby. Women who see their health care provider regularly during pregnancy have healthier babies, are less likely to deliver prematurely, and are less likely to have other serious problems related to pregnancy. All mothers and babies benefit from prenatal care.

NorthShore Health Centers offers full obstetric services and have convenient locations and hours to serve our mothers-to-be. From pregnancy testing through prenatal care, to delivery and post-partum follow-up care, as well as gynecology services, our skilled providers are there to answer questions and provide professional treatment for our patients.
