As we leave September and welcome October, we don’t want to miss sharing information for Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month, which is a national recognition established by the Foundation for Women’s Cancer in 1999. It is estimated that every five minutes, someone will be diagnosed with a gynecologic cancer, and over 33,000 will die from gynecologic cancer this year. There are five main types of gynecologic cancer: cervical, ovarian, uterine, vaginal, and vulvar.

With the newly decreased availability for gynecologic cancer care in Iowa, you may be experiencing limited options for your women’s health care. With just a handful of providers remaining in the state for this vital service, the DCH Outpatient Clinic in Leon, Iowa, is proud to provide access to this highly specialized care, not readily available in central and southern Iowa. Decatur County Hospital is excited to announce the addition of Elizabeth Dubil, MD, FACOG, to the DCH Outpatient Clinic team. Dr. Dubil provides Women’s Health services three days each month, including cancer screenings and on-site surgical services.
