October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Is it time for your mammogram?

September 30, 2021

American College of Radiology recommends a baseline mammogram at 40, and annual mammograms after that.

NH+C’s Breast Care Center offers convenient screening for all women, with daytime and evening appointments in a quiet and comfortable setting. Schedule yours: (507) 646-1143

Spanish interpreters available for your appointment (at no charge).

We provide 3D mammograms, and 2D mammograms – it’s your choice. There are some clear advantages with 3D mammograms: earlier detection, fewer callbacks, better images for radiologists to determine if an abnormality is harmless, or cancer.

Check with your insurance plan to see how 3D mammograms are covered under your policy.
