It's Your Peace of Mind

Most women experience some type of breast problem during their lifetimes. If you find a lump or change in your breasts, don’t panic. More than 80 percent of breast disorders are not cancerous. However, your chance for developing breast cancer increases greatly as you get older. That’s why examinations are so important—and where you get your mammogram makes a difference. The radiologists at Breast Health Services, with five convenient locations in Allentown, Bethlehem, Bath and Trexlertown, Pa., exceed the national average for finding cancer at its earliest, most curable stage.

And though most breast cancer is caught at the very earliest stage 30 percent of the time, we detect early cancers at twice this rate. In addition, our board-certified radiologists read more mammograms than twice the FDA requirement each year.

It's important you know that where you get your mammogram makes a difference. More than 40,000 women choose Lehigh Valley Health Network’s Breast Health Services for mammograms every year. They are getting the highest quality care from radiologists who exceed the national average for finding cancer at its earliest, more curable stage. It's one reason we received the highest possible designation from the American College of Sugeons' Commission on Cancer.

Why are our statistics so far above the national average?

Because we use the most advanced imaging technology to diagnose potential problems and pinpoint the most effective treatment options. Our passion is you and your continued health. And average is not nearly good enough.

We also help women deal with the emotional challenges of breast cancer. Certified nurses are assigned to every patient to help them navigate through the clinical and behavioral aspects of their treatment and aftercare. Such a high level of clinical and patient care is rare. At Lehigh Valley Health Network, it's our passion.
