Mammography
1 in 8 women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. 66 percent of breast cancer cases are diagnosed at an early stage, for which the five-year survival rate is 99 percent. Approximately 30 percent of all cancer diagnoses in women will be breast cancer. *Statistics from the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.
Community Hospital's comprehensive Breast Care Center utilizes state-of-the-art equipment, including digital mammography equipment which includes 3D/Tomosynthesis. Each image is read by a board certified radiologist.
Early detection saves lives.
Community Hospital has your mammography needs covered. We proudly offer Genius™ 3D Mammography™ exams, which allow breast tissue to be examined layer by layer, making fine details more visible. Greater accuracy means better breast cancer detection and a reduced chance of additional screenings.

Rapid Diagnostic Clinic available exclusively at Community Hospital.
The Rapid Diagnostic Clinic (RDC) helps quickly diagnose breast changes to ensure that patients receive appropriate care. Patients who come to the clinic get all of their mammograms, additional views, ultrasounds and biopsies as necessary in one morning with navigation through the process by our team nurses and radiologists. Patients who need surgical follow-up are seen 24-48 hours later with fast-tracked biopsy results to start making a plan for treatment. The Rapid Diagnostic Clinic can help identify the reasons behind breast changes in a matter of days rather than weeks.
Patients can be seen in our clinic through either a referral from their primary care physician due to a concerning finding or through an abnormal screening mammogram as recommended by a radiologist.
