Women’s Health Education

“Knowledge is Power”

The Objective of the Women’s Health Edu-

cation Program is to improve the wellness of

women through comprehensive education.

The goal of the Women’s Health Education

Program is to impart and share the knowledge re-

quired to maintain your health through disease

prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

The result of our program is a partnership

through educated discussion about your health-

care concerns.

Drs. Whitted and Pietro have extensive experience

educating and developing state-of-the-art educa-

tion programs about women’s healthcare. They

are noted speakers, authors, and researchers in

women’s healthcare; and at the University of Mi-

ami, they were innovators in education and cur-

riculum development in Gynecology.

Drs. Whitted and Pietro share your concerns about

your healthcare by investing their time, energy,

and enthusiasm promoting educational programs.

They have a wealth of cumulative experiences

and draw upon these highlighting your educational

experience.

Finally, they have brought together an office team

in tune to your needs, concerns, and wishes.

Please feel free to contact us to discuss your edu-

cational needs.

The Association is dedicated to safe, state-of-the-

art, innovative surgeries and healthy lifestyles for

women of all ages. In a nurturing environment,

the physicians and staff strive to promote a part-

nership in your healthcare and make every effort

to bridge the sterile science of diseases with your

emotional, physical, and spiritual needs. Every-

one is confronted with difficult healthcare deci-

sions at one time or another. You’ll want your

physician and staff to have the knowledge, experi-

ence, and sensitivity to guide you safely through

the decision-making process.
