Women's Health
ELCH provides you and your family with the best overall hospital experience
through state-of-the-art equipment and caring professionals. Partnerships
with regional physicians from Mercy Health for heart health are some of
the services available at ELCH with your care in mind.
Education Classes
East Liverpool City Hospital has created classes for the community to provide
women with information and knowledge for first time mothers, for caring
of family members with diseases and medical diagnosis and for protecting
your family in the event of medical emergencies. Our desire is to improve
the confidence of the people within our community by instilling knowledge
and understanding in caring for your loved ones. For a listing of education

Center for Breast Care
The Center for Breast Care has been renovated to differentiate our care
from other area mammogram suites by providing patients with a very positive
experience. The waiting room is inviting and relaxing with comfortable
amenities and beverages. The private changing rooms include fluffy, warm
white robes.
3D Imagery for Your Baby
ELCH recently acquired a new ultrasound machine that takes 3-D/4-D images.
The technology improves our diagnostic capabilities by enabling staff
to view more granular images and it displays two different perspectives
of the same section of tissue. The equipment also improves overall patient
satisfaction, by taking less time to scan images. ELCH is using the ultrasound
technology to perform prenatal wellness visits by examining the health
of babies while they develop in the womb.
Mammography
Mammography is performed digitally at ELCH. Digitally captured images are
performed more quickly and images are archived electronically and in greater
detail resulting in fewer patient call backs. Mammography uses low dose
radiation, and it can detect breast cancer in its earliest form, much
earlier than self-examinations. It should be noted that self-exams still
need to be performed in conjunction with annual mammograms.
GYN Physicians
Our local area doctors have cared for women throughout their life. Reproductive
health includes preventative health screens and exams, surgical procedures,
and family planning. The physicians help women during their pregnancy
by monitoring the health of their unborn child with ultrasounds. They
also help women manage high risk pregnancies. Albert Payne, M.D. is an
OB/GYN physician and he works out of the Women’s Health office on
St. Clair. Dr. Wright, a Gynecologist, works out of this same office.
An appointment can be made by calling 330-385-6654.
Family Physicians
The East Liverpool Medical Group is a good place to start your journey
to better overall health. Kimberly Jackson, D.O., Morgan Jones, CNP, and
the Family Medicine Residents have the expertise to perform health checks,
wellness visits, vaccinations, diagnose various medical conditions and
perform minor procedures right in the office for you and your family.
As family practice physicians, they can begin seeing your infant children
and partner with you and your family throughout your life. They are your
partners in care. You can make an appointment by calling 330-932-0183.
