At Penn State Health St. Joseph Medical Center, supporting women – both within our organization and across the community – is more than a mission; it’s a commitment. We understand that women’s health needs are unique, and we’ve built comprehensive programs that reflects that understanding with specialized care, expanded access, and expert teams.

Making Access Easier
For women over 40—or those with a family history of breast cancer—annual mammograms are essential. We offer 3D mammography at our Exeter, Bern Campus, and Downtown Reading locations, making early detection more accessible than ever.
Our obstetrics providers, certified nurse midwives, and pediatricians deliver care close to home throughout Berks County. This strong focus on maternal and child health has earned us the Baby-Friendly Hospital designation and national recognition from U.S. News & World Report.
