Media release from AdventHealth Redmond:
AdventHealth is making it easy to get screened for breast cancer with convenient 30-minute 3D screening mammograms for $30 in May for patients without insurance who qualify. 30 minutes could truly save your life.
Annual mammograms are still the top-recommended screening for women because it allows the earliest possible detection of issues before you experience symptoms. Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in women in the U.S. and having your annual mammogram could be lifesaving.
Catching breast cancer early means:
- Therapies like breast conservation therapy will be most effective
- Treatment can begin early, possibly before cancer spreads to other parts of your body
- You’ll have the best possible chance of recovery
It is recommended that women begin getting mammograms at age 40 unless there is a family history of breast cancer. If you’re between the ages of 20 and 40, you should have a clinical breast exam by your doctor every three years.
$30 mammograms can only be scheduled for the month of May for patients aged 40 and above without insurance coverage who qualify for a screening mammogram. Screening appointment times may vary. To receive this promotion, your mammogram must be scheduled at least a year and a day after your last mammogram.
Patients can schedule a mammogram at the AdventHealth Redmond Women’s Center by calling 800-776-5102 or visiting GetYourMammoGA.com.
