Women have unique health care needs, and the environment in which a woman is cared for should be woman-centered; focused on her. Trained experts at CMH in gynecology and breast health in Astoria are here to keep you healthy. From your first routine gynecologic exam through motherhood and beyond the menopausal years, the CMH Astoria Women’s Center is committed to providing personalized, comprehensive medical care of the highest quality.
Our team of caregivers includes certified nurse midwives and board-certified obstetrician/gynecologists (OB/GYNs) trained in gynecological, obstetrical and urological care for women. Together, with other members of your women’s health care team, they believe it is a great honor to provide services that meet your changing needs, at every stage in your life. The CMH Women’s Center in Astoria promises to work with you to make collaborative and informed decisions about your health care.
Whether this is your first or fifth baby, we encourage you to take birth classes early in your third trimester. These classes are free to women who plan to deliver their baby at the CMH Family Birthing Center and $75 if planning to deliver elsewhere. Sign up for a childbirth education class.
Birth classes are a great way to get to know other expectant parents, to discuss your expectations and hopes with your partner, and to prepare for your baby’s birth. Classes cover topics like labor and pain management, nutrition, infant care, and self-care after baby is born.

Normal results may be sent by mail. We will call you to talk about any concerning test results, or to schedule a follow-up appointment.

If you would like to authorize anyone other than yourself to have access to your medical information, ask us for a release of information authorization form.
