Providing comprehensive, coordinated care for menstrual and gynecological health
Our GO+ Clinic is all-inclusive, taking care of all gender identities across the lifespan.
+This includes persons with—or who have had—the ability to menstruate.
The GO+ Clinic Is the Only Specialty Clinic of Its Kind in The State of Indiana
The clinic focuses on taking lifelong care of those with known or suspected bleeding disorders, specifically management of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), and those at increased risk of developing blood clots requiring safe hormonal therapy. HMB may be a symptom of an underlying bleeding disorder, hormonal dysfunction, and/or a gynecological issue. A personal or family history of blood clots may preclude the use of certain kinds of hormonal suppressive therapy due to safety concerns. These difficult decisions require the expertise of a hematologist and either adolescent medicine physician and/or gynecologist—with an in-depth evaluation and discussion. The GO+ Clinic brings together these experts to provide comprehensive, coordinated care in one appointment at Innovative Hematology, improving patient access to diagnosis, care, and treatment.
Innovative Hematology is staffed with an integrated on-site multidisciplinary team available to help with issues that arise during the encounter. The GO+ Clinic is the only specialty clinic of its kind in the state of Indiana.
