Closure of Women's Health Palo Alto

---

On January 1, 2026, the Women’s Health Palo Alto OB/GYN practice will be closing due to the retirement of the practice’s lead provider, Dr. Jags Powar. As our practice closes, our goal is always to make sure all our patients continue to get the best care possible. The following information will tell you more about what you need to do before the practice closes on January 1, 2026. 

Before the practice closure, all patients will need to transition their care and pay any balances. We understand that this may be difficult or inconvenient, and we want to do everything we can to make this transition as easy as possible for you. 

We want to make sure you get any appointments or tests you need to continue your care as easily as possible. If you are currently a patient of the Women’s Health Palo Alto practice, we will help you transition your care to 1 of the following Stanford clinics:
