At Thomasville Medical Center Women's Heart Center, we understand that no two women are exactly alike. That's why the care you receive at the Women's Heart Center is designed specifically around you and your personal needs. We not only treat the disease, but we work with you to set goals to address the cause of the disease.

Through a one hour personalized risk assessment, we help you to understand your risk factors. It's only $25 and can improve your overall heart health. After the assessment has been completed, we will work closely with you and your physician to develop an individualized wellness plan to address any risk factors that were identified.

Your assessment includes:

  • Height
  • Weight
  • Waist circumference
  • Cholesterol - total LDL, HDL, Triglycerides
  • Blood glucose (sugar)
  • PAD (peripheral artery disease) screening
Stress Management

A set of techniques used to help an individual cope more effectively with difficult situations in order to feel better emotionally, improve behavioral skills, and often to enhance feelings of control. Stress management may include relaxation exercises, assertiveness training, cognitive restructuring, time management, and social support.

Smoking Cessation

Using individualized medical assessment, strategies and health tips, this program helps people identify and reach their goals to stop using tobacco.

Nutrition Planning

Nutrition services offer an opportunity to receive expert advice from a dietitian. A diet analysis and consultation will benefit you whether you are looking to control weight loss or gain, implement a health eating pattern, or looking for a plan to assist in the prevention of disease.

Nutrition Counseling

Developing a heart-healthy eating plan can help you reduce your cholesterol and maintain a healthy body weight, both of which are important in the prevention of heart disease. Nutrition counseling provides individual consultations with a nutritionist designed to create a healthy eating plan that is right for you. The nutritionist will review your blood lipid profile, discuss your current eating patterns and provide you with educational materials on foods that will lower your cardiovascular disease risk.

Hypertension Care

The treatment and care of high blood pressure.

Blood Sugar (Glucose) Testing

Testing your blood sugar (glucose) involves putting a drop of blood on a test strip and then placing the strip into a meter that displays your glucose level.

Exercise Consult

Individualized consults with a cardiovascular lifestyle specialist. Patients will receive assistance developing a healthy, individualized exercise program.

Cholesterol Testing

Cholesterol screening is performed by a blood test. Persons with high cholesterol measurements from a blood sample tend to have a higher risk for coronary heart disease than those with cholesterol in the normal range. Studies have demonstrated that persons with high cholesterol can reduce their risk for heart disease by lowering their cholesterol. It is important to understand, however, that people can still have heart disease even with cholesterol levels in the normal range.

Ankle Brachial Index

This test is done by measuring blood pressure at the ankle and in the arm while a person is at rest. Measurements are usually repeated at both sites after five minutes of walking on a treadmill. The ankle brachial index (ABI) result is used to predict the severity of peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
