Mammograms Save Lives!

The third Friday in October each year is National Mammography Day. On this day, and throughout the 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 provides 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 a patient may schedule herself for a screening mammogram without a written order from a physician.

Walk-in Mammograms: On Mondays in the Robinson Township Medical Neighborhood and Wednesdays in the Ellwood City Medical Neighborhood women may walk in and request a screening mammogram. No appointment needed! Simply bring your prescription from your physician.

In addition to the Women’s Health Centers in Center Township and Robinson Township (newly opened!), both screening and diagnostic mammography services are offered at the following convenient locations:

• Heritage Valley Edgeworth Medical Neighborhood
• Heritage Valley Kennedy Hospital

Additional screening sites, located in our Medical Neighborhoods, include:

• Heritage Valley Calcutta
• Heritage Valley Center
• Heritage Valley Chippewa
• Heritage Valley Ellwood City
