At Baptist Health We See You!

We see your worry. We see your doubt. We see your need to be proactive.

And we’re honored to help you manage life’s unexpected changes. For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Baptist Health wants to remind all women over the age of 40 to schedule their yearly mammograms. Regular mammograms are critical in ensuring breast cancer is caught early—and early detection is vital. This screening could be your most important appointment this year to ensure your health. Baptist Health’s Breast Centers, clinics and hospitals are committed to providing a safe and comfortable atmosphere for your exam.

We offer comprehensive screening tools including:

• 3D Mammogram
• Breast Ultrasound
• Invenia ABUS 2.0 for Dense Breasts

It’s important to be proactive about your health.

Understanding your risk factors and getting yearly mammograms are the most vital steps for early detection and treatment.

Being a woman is the main risk factor for breast cancer, but did you know there are several other important factors that should be on your radar?

Being over age 55
Having a close relative who had breast cancer
Having a BRCA gene mutation
Having dense breast tissue
Having your first period before age 12
Going through menopause after age 55
Taking combined hormone therapy for menopause
Using birth control pills in the last 10 years
Getting little or no exercise
Having your first child over age 30

The most important thing you can do to prevent breast cancer is to get a yearly mammogram starting at age 40.
