Breast Health
One in every eight women has a chance of developing breast cancer during her lifetime. Take charge of your breast health with the comprehensive breast health program at Mount Carmel.
The program puts you at the center of your care – beginning with education, prevention and screening. It starts with learning breast self-exam techniques and receiving an annual mammogram – both of which you can do at one of our Women's Health Centers. And if an abnormality is found, it ensures you’ll have seamless, compassionate care from diagnosis to treatment and recovery from our expert team of physicians, technologists and nurse navigators.
Nurse Navigators
Information and support are two of the most important and empowering things you can receive when you have breast health concerns. And that’s exactly what Mount Carmel’s Breast Imaging Nurse Navigators provide.
Dense Breast Tissue
While all breasts are made up of fat and breast tissue, not all breasts have the same combination of the two. Some breasts have more fat than breast tissue, while others have more breast tissue than fat.
Diagnostic Procedures
Should you need advanced diagnostic services, Mount Carmel has a number of options available to you and some of the top medical professionals in each discipline to administer your tests and interpret the results.
