Like eating well and exercising regularly, good breast health is an important part of maintaining your overall health well-being. That includes a three-part breast health plan recommended by the American Cancer Society: a monthly breast self-exam, a periodic breast exam by a healthcare professional, and your
annual routine mammogram, as recommended by your physician.
A mammogram is the best way to find breast cancer early, when it is most treatable. Through an X-ray examination of the breast using extremely low radiation, a mammogram can detect lumps and other important changes several years before they can be felt.
Breast Health Services at Baptist performs routine mammograms, along with a full range of diagnostic tests. You can schedule your annual routine (screening) mammogram, along with your bone density exam, at any of our facilities by filling out
our online appointment form right away or
by calling 904.202.2222 (904.321.3636 for Baptist Nassau).
