Got 15 minutes? That may be all the time you need to check an important health screening off your list.
Providence Medford Medical Center caregiver Jessie offers a behind-the-scenes look at the mammography experience. The full appointment takes about 15 minutes, and each breast is compressed for about five seconds to capture the images needed for screening.
Advances in mammography technology have made screenings more comfortable and precise. Features such as curved paddles are designed with patient comfort in mind.
Providence caregivers are there throughout the experience to answer questions, provide support and help ease your way.
If you’ve been delaying your mammogram, consider making your appointment today. Taking a few minutes for this important screening can be an important step in caring for your health.
