Men’s health concerns are often different from women’s, whether it’s a different perspective on a common issue like heart health, or a specialty such as prostate care that’s theirs alone. Northwest Community offers a wide range of services – including screenings, treatment and rehabilitation – in areas of special interest to men.

Our Prostate Service is a Regional Specialty Center offering state-of-the-art treatments like brachytherapy, combining better results with fewer risks.

Our Gastroenterology Services include the most sophisticated facilities in the state, and a physician who teaches high-level procedures to doctors and nurses throughout the region.

Along with gastroenterology, our Cancer Services have been ranked among the best in the nation. In Sports Medicine, Orthopedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, too, NCH is here to meet men’s unique healthcare needs.
