Directions and map of the Regional West campus.
Statistics tell us that one in every seven American women will develop breast cancer at some point in her lifetime. With more and more women talking about breast health, prevention and early detection of problems, deaths from breast cancer are down. Monthly breast self-examinations, yearly clinical breast exams and regular mammogram screenings are the key detection tools available to every woman.
A visit to Regional West’s Breast Health Center takes less than an hour but the peace of mind gained from taking charge of your breast health will last a lifetime. If you’re over 35 and are due for a mammogram or have never had one, schedule an appointment today by calling (308) 630-2700 and press option "1."
