Welcome! We invite you to experience the Forest Health Medical Center difference!

FHMC is different from either a general medical hospital or a large university medical center. We provide you with specialty surgery and personal care by the best specialty surgeons and staff.

Just like the major medical centers we have the latest modern equipment and facilities, but that is not what makes us different. The personal care you will receive is unlike the typical impersonal healthcare offered in most large university medical centers. At FHMC we are committed to caring for you as our family.

Myomectomy

Myomectomy is the surgical removal of fibroids from the uterus. The uterus is left in place, allowing for the possibility of future pregnancy. Methods include hysteroscopy (a lighted viewing instrument is inserted through the vagina and into the uterus), laparoscopy (a lighted viewing instrument and one or more small abdominal incisions), or laparotomy (a larger abdominal incision).
