In the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Dr. Helfer offers care and advice for women from puberty through adulthood. In addition, she provides physical examinations, breast examinations, and pap smears. She also helps patients with family planning decisions; birth options; and care during pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause.
I was inspired by women around me who were reaching out and making a difference—it did not matter if it was large legislative issues or being a mentor to children. The fact is, each of us can inspire others no matter what we do. Just go for it and do it—be an inspiration.
I volunteer my time at Windsor Road Christian Church. I serve as Financial and Facility advisor for Kappa Alpha Theta, on the Coding and Nomenclature Committee for ACOG (appointed position), as District VI Young Fellow for ACOG (appointed position), and as President of Champaign County Medical Society. I also teach medical students and run half-marathons and triathlons. I enjoy traveling, meeting new people, and experiencing other cultures. My favorite thing to do is spend time with my four boys and watch them grow and learn.

I strive to give my patients the most up-to-date and comprehensive care possible. When they are in my care I want them to feel they are number one and listened to. I want them to feel confident that their health needs are being met.
