Virginia Women’s Center has released it’s first of eleven women’s health videos. Throughout 2011, Virginia Women’s Center will share its Focus on Health web video series, on their site and YouTube channel, reaching out to patients who do their preliminary research online.
Virginia Women’s Center is releasing the series to provide accurate information and to engage patients about some of the most frequently asked questions about women’s health answered by the practice’s providers.
“Many of our patients come to their appointments after having researched their symptoms on Yahoo! Answers and WebMD,” said Brenda Burgess, Virginia Women’s Center’s practice administrator. “Many have bookmarked the information on their Smartphones. And it’s great—we find this prepares them to ask better questions and play a more active role in their health care. But every patient has a unique medical history, so it’s often difficult to find exact answers online, and sometimes the best information is in doctor-speak, which can lead patients to worry when they simply don’t understand.”
The first video of the series, which is already online, Dr. Rodrick Love discusses the common concerns and benefits of the risk-free and non-invasive first trimester prenatal screening test. Dr. Love is a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at Virginia Women’s Center and has contributed a great deal to the discipline of obstetrics and gynecology.
Future topics will cover aspects of the practices’s services:-
- Gynecologic procedures
- Urology
- Mammography
- Bone Health
- Psychology
- Nutrition
The Focus on Health video series is posted to VirginiaWomensCenter.com as well as the practice’s YouTube channel. Virginia Women’s Center is already a trusted resource online, with a social community on Facebook and Twitter @VAWomensCenter.
