Daviess Community Hospital Launches Women's Health Scheduling Number, OB-GYNs Arrive April

Patients can now call (812) 254-5985 to schedule appointments at Daviess Community Hospital’s Women’s Health Center, located on the second floor of the hospital, and the center will add Dr. Sonya Williams and Dr. Michael Ryskin as providers starting in April. The hospital published the announcement as a direct scheduling line intended to streamline booking for gynecology, maternity care and other women’s health services.

Daviess Community Hospital framed the new number as a way to make scheduling easier “for women across southwestern Indiana,” and listed a range of services offered at the Women’s Health Center including preventive care, gynecology, maternity services and newborn support. WAMW-FM’s summary of the announcement added wellness exams and preventive screenings to the list of services patients can schedule by calling (812) 254-5985.

The hospital noted its Women’s Health Center operates within a state-certified Level II obstetric facility, and that Level II capability means DCH is “equipped to care for high-risk pregnancies and newborns requiring specialized monitoring, while maintaining a compassionate, family-centered approach to care.” That certification signals local capacity to manage higher-risk obstetric needs without immediate transfer in some cases.

“Our goal is always to make high-quality care easier for our community to access,” said Justin D. Harris, MSHA, MBA, FACHE, chief executive officer of Daviess Community Hospital. “The new direct number helps connect women quickly with our team, and the addition of Dr. Williams and Dr. Ryskin reflects our continued investment in expanding women’s healthcare services close to home.”

Appointments with the Women’s Health Center, including future appointments with Dr. Williams and Dr. Ryskin, can be scheduled by calling (812) 254-5985. The hospital newsroom copy contains a duplicated phone-number artifact showing “(812) 254-5985 254-5985)” in one instance and includes a page reference to “Scorpion Healthcare Marketing” as a site element and the site text “awards awards awards,” which appear to be webpage artifacts separate from the scheduling details.

Local media outlets republished the announcement: Washtimesherald ran a headline noting the new number for the Women’s Health Center, and WAMW-FM reported the new line “expanding OB-GYN services in the area.” Daviess Community Hospital also posted on Instagram with the caption, “Daviess Community Hospital Women's Health Center new direct number (812) 254-5985. daviesscohosp. Women's Health just got easier to reach!”

Patients seeking gynecology care, maternity services, wellness exams, preventive screenings or newborn support at Daviess Community Hospital should call (812) 254-5985 to book an appointment. Dr. Sonya Williams and Dr. Michael Ryskin are scheduled to begin seeing patients starting in April, and the new direct scheduling line is intended to centralize access for women across southwestern Indiana.
