"We cannot do great things, only small things with great love." - Mother Teresa

WCC is going abroad!

Dr. Dixon, Lorena, Emma (MA), and Liz G (one of our local doulas) are headed to the Dominican Republic!

In February we will travel along with our team of physicians, midwives, nurse practitioners, nurses, medical assistant, social worker, health promoter, surgical tech, patient support tech, project manager and students!

This will be Lorena’s 5th time going, Emma’s second trip, and Dr. Dixon and Liz’s 1st trip!!!

We will donate our time to do FREE GYN surgeries, Pap Smears, Births, and postpartum visits. In addition, we provide health education and blood pressure checks in the bateyes (villages), and sponsor a FREE women’s retreat.

We plan to distribute over 400 reusable menstrual kits, 500 cycle bead bracelets, and hundreds of pairs of shoes!

We have also pledged to bring 100 newborn outfits or light receiving blankets! These items will be given in addition to the postpartum bags given at the hospital. If you have any gently used baby outfits (0-6months) and would like to be part of this journey we would gladly accept your donations! Please hand any donations to the room nurse. We will collect items until Feb 13, 2026.

Welcome to WomanCare Centers

Welcome to WomanCare Centers. We are glad you are here. We are a hometown practice with a wonderful story and a long history of caring for women and their families.

It begins as many stories do, with love and with nursing because nursing is the heart of healthcare. Louann loved being a nurse, loved caring for birthing women and she loved Ted Hughes. They had always known of each other growing up in Norfolk but the history of birthing in Hampton Roads took a right turn when Louann and Ted married in 1980, the year before he finished medical school.

The now Dr. Hughes was a resident at the three area hospitals. It was under the tutelage of the nurses at DePaul Medical Center that Dr. Hughes and his colleagues honed their skills in their care of healthy women. Two of these nurses were Louann (you hear her beautiful voice when you call our office) and our own midwife, then nurse, Nell Dowell. In 1987 Dr. Hughes and Louann opened Health Care Specialists for Women. They began with 6 patients on their first day. Time passed and another bright star arrived in residency: Marybeth Dixon. In 1993, after 6 years as a solo practitioner, Dr.Hughes invited Dr. Dixon to join him in practice. This was the heart of WomanCare Centers as it is today. We grew from love and friendship and through a commitment to women and their families.

As other practices in the area grew, national breastfeeding rates continued to fall and cesarean rates rose, WomanCare Centers rates did not change. The cesarean rate was always lower and the breastfeeding rate continues to be the highest in the state.
