Breast Care
Whether you are going through your first screening mammogram or a follow-up diagnostic view, we provide a full array of services in breast care. We work to get the answers you need from mammograms, ultrasounds, breast biopsies and breast MRIs. With advanced technology and a dedicated care team, should breast cancer be detected, we will work to put you on a path that will fit your individual needs. Our dedicated Breast Care Navigator will walk alongside you and guide you through the entire journey, scheduling and attending appointments, connecting you with resources and helping with referrals to specialists. We also offer a High-Risk Breast Cancer Screening program for those at a higher risk for developing breast cancer. With imaging services in Cedar Falls, Oelwein and the Waterloo Breast Center, we empower you to take control of your breast health.

Pregnancy and Maternity Care

We have the services you need at MercyOne Waterloo OB/GYN, MercyOne Cedar Falls OB/GYN and Waterloo Birth Center.
MercyOne specialists are here to help families experiencing high-risk pregnancies through our Maternal Fetal Medicine program.
In addition, our team of family medicine and pediatrics providers are here to care for all members of your family going forward!
Physical Therapy
Research has proven physical therapy helps a variety of pelvic diagnoses, including incontinence or pelvic pain after childbirth, aging or illness. At MercyOne, we have a multi-disciplinary approach to women's health physical therapy to ensure you get the care you need. Our physical therapists work with your primary care provider, midwife and/or OB/GYN, along with a behavioral health provider and/or pain management to provide the best, most comprehensive care. We’re here to help with bladder leakage and urinary incontinence through pelvic floor therapy and rehabilitation.
Bone Density
Women are at a higher risk of osteoporosis and the risk increases as women age. MercyOne provides the most accurate test available for detecting osteoporosis and other bone diseases. The DEXA (dual-energy x-ray absorpitometry) scan takes about 10 to 15 minutes and measures the bone loss in your hips and spine. The DEXA scan is similar to having a standard x-ray with only a very small amount of radiation being used.
