Founded by Dr. Robert Ruark in 1933, Ruark Obstetrics and Gynecology was established as Raleigh's first Obstetrics and Gynecology practice. In 2001, our practice became a solely private, physician-owned entity and was renamed Centre Obstetrics and Gynecology. In 2007 our office joined the Women's Health Alliance, PA, and is now known as Women's Health Alliance, PA PKA Centre Ob/Gyn. Here at Centre Ob/Gyn, we are committed to providing the best care possible. Our six physicians are members of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and are board-certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Our physicians maintain privileges at Rex Healthcare, where we perform our deliveries, obstetrical and gynecological surgeries, as well as other related Obstetrical and Gynecological procedures. Our practice has expert experience managing pregnancies associated with diabetes, hypertension, asthma, advanced maternal age, multiple gestations, thyroid disease, pre-term labor, fibroids, pelvic masses, bleeding, and abnormal Pap smears. We offer in-house ultrasound services, bone density evaluations, urodynamics testing, maternal-fetal monitoring, non-stress testing, and genetic counseling. At Centre Obstetrics and Gynecology we are committed to establishing sincere and informative relationships with our patients. We are thrilled to continue serving the Raleigh community! Joint Statement
A commitment from Centre OB/Gyn, ABOG, ACOG, and others dedicated to Women’s Health, Obstetrics, and Gynecology addressing racism in healthcare
As our nation confronts systemic racism and consequences of persistent inequities and disparate outcomes in health care, our organizations—which include the leading professional organizations in the fields of obstetrics and gynecology—are committed to changing the culture of medicine, eliminating racism and racial inequities that lead to disparate health outcomes, and promoting equity in women’s health and health care. Our commitment to a better future requires an honest examination of the past and the present. Recognizing that race is a social construct, not biologically based, is important to understanding that racism, not race, impacts health care, health, and health outcomes. Systemic and institutional racism are pervasive in our country and in our country’s health care institutions, including the fields of obstetrics and gynecology.
