Mammography and Breast Health Services

The Saint Vincent Women’s Center is proud to be the region’s most responsive provider of breast diagnostics, surgery, and breast health advocacy. We’ve created the region’s most comprehensive, integrated continuum of services. Whether it is providing you the reassurance of fast and efficient annual screening mammography or offering the advocacy, support, medical expertise and technology you need when dealing with the possibility or reality of breast cancer, we truly are your partner in breast health.

Mammography Results Fast
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death among women in the United States. Screening mammography can reduce mortality from breast cancer by approximately 20 to 35 percent in women aged 50 to 69 years of age and approximately 20 percent in women aged 40 to 49.

Recognizing a need to provide fast and accurate results for mammograms, we have recently reduced the amount of time it takes for us to get your screening mammogram results to your physician within 24 hours. And The Saint Vincent Women’s Center is the only facility in the region where radiologists utilize a Computer Aided Detection (CAD) system that can result in earlier detection of up to 23.4 percent of cancers.

Online Scheduling for Mammography
In an effort to remove yet another barrier to early detection, The Saint Vincent Women’s Center has implemented a program allowing you to schedule your mammogram online on our website. It is a quick and convenient way to get your annual mammogram on your calendar and only requires a call to your doctor to request an order.

Streamlined Breast Diagnostics
When you experience a suspicious mammogram, the anxiety and concern grows with every passing day. Traditionally, waiting for biopsy takes weeks, and if it is cancer, it can often mean additional agonizing weeks before surgery can be performed.

The experts at The Saint Vincent Women’s Center understand the emotional toll it takes to wait for these procedures. That’s why we’ve created a unique process that gives you relief from those weeks of waiting and worrying. The process takes patients from mammogram to biopsy and/or surgery if needed within about two weeks – weeks or even months faster than it can take at other facilities.

Breast Health Navigation
At The Saint Vincent Women’s Center, women needing mammograms or other diagnostic procedures, and those diagnosed with breast cancer, have an important new ally. The Saint Vincent Breast Health Navigator guides you from screening mammogram to, if needed, diagnosis, treatment, and recovery from breast cancer. Supported by a grant from the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, the navigator can help you through the process and aid in overcoming any financial, insurance or other barriers.

The Saint Vincent Camisole Caring Program
In the wake of breast cancer surgery, The Saint Vincent Camisole Caring Program offers something supportive, restorative and beautiful. The only program of its kind in the region, Camisole Caring provides attractive post-surgical camisoles with special pockets for drains and temporary breast forms regardless of insurance or ability to pay. It is also supported by a Komen grant.
