Mammograms Save Lives!
During National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, women are encouraged to schedule a mammography appointment. Mammograms are performed to screen healthy women for signs of breast cancer and to evaluate women who may have symptoms. Combining a yearly mammogram, monthly breast self-examination and a yearly clinical breast exam provide women age 40 and over with the best means of early detection of breast abnormalities. When problems are detected early, women have the most hope of controlling or curing a problem.
Self-Requesting Mammograms: All of our mammography locations listed below offer Self-Requesting Mammograms, which means that patients may schedule screening mammograms without a written order from a physician.
Walk-in Mammograms: On Mondays in the Robinson Township and Ellwood City Medical Neighborhoods, women may walk in and request a screening mammogram. No appointment needed!
In addition to the Women’s Health Centers in Center Township and Robinson Township, both screening and diagnostic mammography services are offered at the Heritage Valley Edgeworth Medical Neighborhood.
Additional screening sites, located in our Medical Neighborhoods, include:
- Heritage Valley Calcutta
- Heritage Valley Center Township (Monaca)
- Heritage Valley Chippewa
- Heritage Valley Ellwood City
