🤰 Huntington Women's Health is home to two excellent OB/GYNs, Dr. Brian Bower and Dr. Paul Lee, who are now accepting new patients. Both providers have worked in private practice for years, and they continue to give the personalized attention that a private practice is able to provide. In addition to OB/GYN and women's health services, they offer patient monitoring and fetal monitoring with biophysical profile (BPP) and nonstress test (NST) ultrasound. Both providers have been in practice long enough to see the babies they delivered 20 years ago grow up to have babies of their own. If you're looking for one-on-one attention for you or your loved one, look no further! ☎️ Call 304.525.5405 to schedule with Dr. Bower. ☎️ Call 304.522.3420 to schedule with Dr. Lee.

🩺 Meet Gail Lacy, CMSRN 🩺 For nearly 30 years, Gail Lacy has made a difference as a nurse through her commitment to providing the best care possible to her patients. Gail works hard to give those in her care the least stressful stay possible with the best outcomes. "I always try to keep good communication with both my patients and their families. When you hear a patient or a family member say, 'I remember you,' and then tell me they remember me helping them in a particular situation or that I helped make their loved one's stay better, that is a very rewarding and wonderful feeling." In Gail's free time, she loves taking mini road trips, playing piano, singing, attending church and spending time with her family. Thank you, Gail, for all you continue to do for our hospital community! 💚
