In every generation, women often do the work of caring for themselves and their families, raising children, and attending to aging parents.

RWJBarnabas Health is a leader in the region in women's health, offering a multitude of programs and services tailored to the unique needs of women.
Our women's health programs and services are backed by the largest healthcare network in New Jersey, making sure women have access to the highest level of care, the most state-of-the-art technology and the most experienced doctors and specialists. The breadth of our services for women empowers mothers, daughters and grandmothers to take the crucial preventive steps they need to chart a path of wellness through the life cycle.
Women's health concerns often focus on milestones such as pregnancy, childbirth and menopause. But day-to-day and year-to-year health maintenance and preventive measures are also critical to well-being throughout life. "Getting recommended exams, screenings and immunizations are some of the most important things you can do to prevent problems or catch them earlier, and stay healthier longer," says Suzanne Spernal, DNP, APN-BC, RNCOB, C-ONQS, Senior Vice President of Women's Services at RWJBarnabas Health. "Maintaining a healthy weight throughout the life span is also key to living healthy."
