Mammogram Screenings Temporarily Postponed
LVHN is temporarily postponing all mammogram screenings and visits from the mobile mammography coach to help keep patients and health care providers safe during the COVID-19 outbreak. Diagnostic mammogram exams will be performed when needed.
Prevention-focused women’s health care
We want you to lead a full, healthy life. That starts by preventing illness whenever we can. Our OB-GYNs offer:
- Pelvic exams and Pap smear tests: Your OB-GYN provider does pelvic exams and Pap smears to screen for abnormalities including cancer or sexually transmitted diseases.
- Imaging services: Ultrasounds for high and low risk pregnancy and gynecologic symptoms and conditions. Our ultrasound program is fully accredited by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM).
Breast health:
- Mammogram screening: Mammograms are safe, low-dose X-rays used to detect breast cancer in its earliest, most treatable stage.
- Care for osteoporosis and osteopenia:
- Bone density screening: Bone density screening can help evaluate your risk for broken bones or osteoporosis.
