I am privileged to lead an accomplished faculty, staff, and resident team, all of whom are focused on our mission to improve the lives and health of the women in our community. The department is committed to providing the highest quality obstetrical care, women’s healthcare, cancer screening and treatment, and all other reproductive services. We pride ourselves in providing compassionate, respectful, family-centric care that serves a diverse population of women and encourages close collaboration across clinical disciplines.

Wyckoff Heights holds a prestigious designation as a Baby Friendly USA hospital, which is conferred upon facilities that provide support and education for mothers about the benefits of breastfeeding.
