Healthcare is one of the most important, a lifelong journey that changes as we age or find ourselves in new life stages. It’s important that each woman find options and care partners that meet not only her needs but her preferences. At Tryon Medical Partners, where 54 percent of physician-owners are women, we deeply understand women’s health.

This also means an annual wellness exam can encompass what you may traditionally think of as a yearly physical and a gynecological appointment in one cohesive visit. Women’s well-care is part of what your PCP can address and they are often the only care provider you need. If a patient must see a specialist, a primary care physician can recommend someone qualified, trusted, and best-suited for the situation.
