Programs

Patient Epidural Education Program (PEEP) is designed specifically for pregnant women preparing for labor. It allows women to view a nine-minute educational video in the private consultation room at the Women's Center. The accompanying booklet provides information and space to prepare questions for the anesthesiologist prior to preoperative epidural screening. This program is offered in conjunction with the Department of Anesthesia. Patients first report to the Women's Center on the day of their anesthesia appointment. Partners or family members may attend.

Women's Center

Wheeling Hospital has a strong commitment to providing the best health services possible to women in the area. At the hospital’s Women’s Center, patients report to the comfortable surroundings of a private registration area in Medical Tower 4, rather than going to outpatient registration, for mammograms, bone density tests and certain lab tests related to pregnancy.
