Women's Wellness Clinic

The Women’s Wellness Clinic offers wellness-focused follow-up care for women who have completed cancer treatment for a breast or gynecological cancer.

It is part of the new Women's Center on the third floor of the SCCA clinic.

The Women's Wellness Clinic was the brainchild of Dr. Julie Gralow, a UW Medicine medical oncologist who sees patients at SCCA. Many of her long-term follow-up patients are taking advantage of the services offered by this clinic.

Women come to the Wellness Clinic when it’s time to shift their focus from cancer treatment to recovery. They want a wellness plan that includes good nutrition, improved fitness, and emotional support. If you are one of these women:

• You may want to focus on cancer prevention—to do everything you can to keep your cancer from coming back.
• You may need help in dealing with some of the lingering side effects of cancer treatment, such as lymphedema, anxiety, or depression.
• At the same time, routine checkups, including mammograms, Pap smears, and various scans, are an important part of taking care of yourself after cancer.

The Women’s Wellness Clinic offers the care and services you need within our new SCCA Women's Center, without leaving the medical supervision of the oncologists you know and trust.

Women who are at high risk
In addition, women who are at high risk for breast or ovarian cancer and who have been seen at our Breast and Ovarian Cancer Prevention Program, which is also part of the SCCA Women's Center, may be referred to the Women’s Wellness Clinic for routine medical exams and close monitoring.

These women do not have cancer, but they come to the Women’s Wellness Clinic for help with cancer prevention.
