Welcome! We invite you to experience the Forest Health Medical Center difference!

FHMC is different from either a general medical hospital or a large university medical center. We provide you with specialty surgery and personal care by the best specialty surgeons and staff.

Just like the major medical centers we have the latest modern equipment and facilities, but that is not what makes us different. The personal care you will receive is unlike the typical impersonal healthcare offered in most large university medical centers. At FHMC we are committed to caring for you as our family.

Gynecology

Bartholin gland-excision or marsupilization

A cyst is formed when the Bartholin's gland (located slightly below and to the left of the vagina opening) is blocked. If infection sets in, an abscess forms. Bartholin’s cysts are most likely to occur in women of child-bearing age. The cyst or abscess may need to be removed or opened to allow free draining.
