Mammograms
A mammogram is a very effective screening tool for early breast cancer detection. During this noninvasive procedure, breasts are compressed between two firm surfaces to spread out the breast tissue. Then, an X-ray of the breast tissue is taken so that a doctor can examine the images and look for signs of breast cancer.
We also offer 3D mammography services.

If breast cancer is detected, we are with you every step of the way. The doctors and specialists in our oncology program offer comprehensive cancer care and support services.

There are different kinds of breast exams and different guidelines around when to receive each type. The American Cancer Society recommends:
- All women should receive a clinical breast exam by their healthcare providers each year.
