North Oaks Encourages Women to Have Their Annual Mammogram

THERE IS NO EXCUSE.

GET A YEARLY MAMMOGRAM.

Information on breast cancer prevention is everywhere in October – but ladies, are you following the advice? If you’re 40 years or older, make a promise to talk with your doctor about an annual mammogram.

A mammogram can find a breast cancer lump earlier, when it’s much smaller and more easily treatable. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the average size of a lump found through an annual mammogram is one-eighth the size of a lump found through occasional self-exams.

To encourage women to cross their mammogram off their “to-do” list, North Oaks Diagnostic Center in Hammond is offering $50 screening 3D mammograms during Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October.

To schedule a screening, call North Oaks Scheduling between 7 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. on weekdays at (985) 202-5469.

The cash price covers exam costs and Radiologist’s reading fees. Insurance companies will not be charged. Any additional medical procedure deemed necessary will follow normal billing processes.
