    Focus on Good Health

    At Rhett Women’s Center, we are here to support you and offer you the tools to get through this difficult time. As a small, free standing women’s center and the only fully accredited, free standing gynecology surgery center, Rhett Women’s Center is uniquely positioned to provide care to patients without the high risk of infections hospitals and hospital-based practices experience. In addition to our daily and routine sterilization protocols, we have added heightened precautions including patient intake assessments outside of the reception area, reduced overlapping appointments, daily temperature checks of staff, glove and mask use as needed and social distancing. You may fill all your forms out online prior to your visit. If preferred, we can text or call you while you wait inside your vehicle when your appointment time occurs.

    Here are a few ways we recommend for you to stay healthy:

    Telemedicine appointments available:

    • Labs and evaluation for Bioidentical Hormone Optimization.
    • Thyroid evaluation
    • Functional medicine appointment to address chronic concerns.

    COVID-19: Important Patient Update

    In compliance with the recent CDC guidelines, ASRM and our national government, we are moving many of our gynecology services to telemedicine visits. Exceptions include urgent needs, abnormal bleeding, acute care gynecology symptoms and bioidentical hormone optimization pellet therapy. Our providers will be available to see patients as needed. All scheduled patients will receive a phone call to determine if an in-office visit, a telehealth visit, or rescheduling a well visit appointment to a later date and time is the best course of action. For patients seen in the office, the screening policy including temperature checks and a questionnaire will remain in place.

    The Rhett Women’s Center Aesthetics suite will be closed until the efforts to flatten the COVID-19 curve are passed. We will continue to fill beauty product orders and deliver to patient vehicles as requested.

    Thank you for your ongoing support as we continuously monitor the coronavirus and seek to provide quality services during this challenging time.

  • Consider supporting your immune health with Bioactives

    Consider supporting your immune health with Bioactives

    When used appropriately, nutritional supplements address common nutritional deficiencies and provide a targeted boost your immune system may need. Here are some recommendations and convenient links to how to order clean, pharmaceutical grade supplements online through our Fullscript program. All online orders are delivered to your door.

     

    Vitamin C

    Vitamin C increases the action of natural killer cells, immune cells that are especially responsive to viruses.

    Benefits:

    Immune cells contain 10 to 100x more vitamin C than other human cells. This significantly higher concentration suggests vitamin C is extraordinarily important to the function of these immune cells. High dose vitamin C can be really useful for keeping you healthy and reducing the intensity and severity of your illness.

    Important to note:

    In order to get these benefits from Vitamin C, we typically start the dosing at 4000 mg daily. Be careful when supplementing with a higher dose Vitamin C since it can cause mild abdominal cramping and loose stools.

     

    Zinc

    Having zinc deficiency is pretty common. The World Health Organization reports zinc deficiency affects 31% worldwide. Even a mild deficiency contributes to a weaker cell-mediated immune response and a poor immune system function.

    Benefits:

    It would be reasonable to ensure your zinc intake is optimal during times where you are at a higher risk of illness. Studies repeatedly show a significant reduction in duration of infection when using oral zinc supplementation, with most of the research exploring the effects of zinc on the common cold.

     

    Vitamin D

    Research demonstrates vitamin D modulates immune cells.

    Benefits:

    Several studies have shown vitamin D plays a positive role in reducing respiratory infections and in prevention of influenza and influenza related complications. The impact appears to be more protective in patients who are vitamin D deficient.

    Important note:

    Make sure to have your Vitamin D levels checked to ensure your levels are optimal.
