Your Health, Your Choice – Now More Affordable

At Bascom Medical, we’ve reduced the cost of the MonaLisa Touch Vaginal Laser to match vaginal estrogen pricing—because cost shouldn’t determine your care. This safe, effective treatment helps prevent Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), supporting comfort, intimacy, and long-term vaginal health. We believe women should have access to the option that works best for their bodies, especially as they enter menopause. Preventative care is key to aging with comfort and confidence. With this price change, MonaLisa Touch is now more accessible than ever—empowering women to take charge of their wellness with a treatment that truly supports their quality of life.

Care That Feels Like Home

The comfort of home can’t be beat. Home Instead helps you flourish in the everyday life you know and love – while getting a little help to stay mobile and independent. Some clients receive support while living with dementia or other chronic conditions and benefit from meaningful activities, established routines and social connections. For others, care is companionship, assistance with personal care, escorts on outings, meal prep, and home help. Whether returning home from hospital or planning to remain at home well into the future, each personalized care experience enables a more connected, independent life from the comfort of home.
