Florida Hospital for Women offers women in all life stages a comprehensive health and healing experience, with services in three major areas: pre-pregnancy care, well-women care and specialty care. The facility will include services such as obstetrics, maternal fetal medicine, gynecologic oncology, women’s surgery, neonatal intensive care, mammography, wellness and education, a lactation center and digital mammography.

The first phase of the hospital will open to patients on January 24, 2016.
