Don’t wait until it’s too late. Prevention is the best medicine.
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the MemorialCare Breast Center at Long Beach Memorial is offering a chance to win prizes – from spa robes to gift certificates. Also in October, enjoy “Breast Health Happy Hours” Wednesdays, from 3 – 5 p.m. and get pampered following your mammogram. “Happy Hours” include head/neck massages, refreshments and light appetizers – there also will be a drawing for a free mammogram.
Recognized as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence, patients at the MemorialCare Breast Center have access to advanced digital mammography, available only, at less than 10% of U.S. breast imaging centers. We also have three sub-specialized, fellowship-trained breast radiologists, who are women just like you, interpreting each patient’s mammogram.
At the MemorialCare Breast Center, breast care is taken to a new level with the “one-stop approach. If an abnormality is detected during your mammogram, only a biopsy can confirm if it’s malignant or benign. The Center offers 10 different biopsy options so that you have the most accurate diagnosis for your particular abnormality. What’s more, most are performed right then, rather than scheduled for a later date – providing women peace of mind. Results are then delivered within 48 hours. When it comes to screening for, and diagnosing breast cancer, the MemorialCare Breast Center is committed to offering advanced care for early detection and prevention.
“Our ability to provide the most advanced preventive medicine in a ‘one-stop shop’ helps alleviate anxiety for our patients,” says Sandy Lopez, Program Director, MemorialCare Breast Center, Long Beach Memorial. “Combine that with the comforts of a ‘spa-like’ environment, complete with comfortable changing rooms and the friendliest of staff – and you’ve got a recipe for success.”
The MemorialCare Breast Center at Long Beach Memorial is dedicated to advancing the care, and early diagnosis, of breast cancer with state-of-the-art detection, treatment and technology for women in every stage of breast health. We are an accredited center — recognized by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers.
