Axia supports over 200 care center locations across 5 states, empowering affiliated physicians to offer a wide range of expert care spanning obstetrics, gynecology, laboratory services, breast health and mammography, maternal-fetal medicine, urogynecology, and reproductive endocrinology (fertility).
