Mammography
Do it for yourself, do it for your family.
Valley County Health System provides state-of-the-art mammography services. Performed in conjunction with monthly self-breast examinations and an annual physical breast exam from your medical provider, getting a mammogram can help detect breast cancer in its early, more treatable stages.
According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancers that are detected because they can be felt tend to be larger and are more likely to have spread beyond the breast. In contrast, breast cancers found during screening examinations are more likely to be small and still confined to the breast.
The ACS recommends that women age 40 and older have a screening mammogram every year and should continue to do so for as long as they are in good health.
Medicare, Medicaid and most private health insurance plans cover mammogram costs or a percentage of them.
Call Valley County Health System to schedule your annual mammogram today. As our patient, we will remind you to come in for your mammogram each year. Call to schedule today at 308.728.3211 or visit us at 217 Westridge Drive in Ord, Nebraska.
