RUMC WOMEN’S CENTER RECENTLY UNVEILED
Most recently, Richmond University Medical Center welcomed local leaders, healthcare professionals, and members of the community as the hospital officially unveiled its new Women’s Center for Obstetrics and Gynecology.
The new center is located inside the South Shore Commons Shopping Center at 2935 Veterans Rd. West in Charleston. The center features a “spa like” atmosphere with spacious exam suites equipped with the latest technology, private consultation rooms, and a comfortable waiting and reception area.
“This beautiful new space is not just a medical office; it’s a sanctuary for women to feel supported and cared for during every stage of life,” said Messina. “Dr. Tubman and her team are true leaders in their field, and we are proud to expand our services to the South Shore community.”
