Breast Center Services

The Center’s beautiful 3D mammography suites have a spa-like feel with private dressing rooms, a relaxing seating area, and large mammography screening suites. Conveniently located on the first floor of the hospital, patients can quickly register in the Radiology Department and then go across the hall to the Breast Center for their mammograms. If you are 40 years old or if you are younger but have a family history, schedule a mammogram. You do not need a physician’s order to schedule your mammogram. Just call the Breast Center at 318.214.4265. If you notice a change in your breast, please see your physician.

Breast Cancer Screenings

While NRMC cannot impact the number of women facing breast cancer, they can make an important difference in survival rates thanks to successful screening programs. With annual mammograms, doctors are able to find cancers at their earliest stages when it is most treatable. The five-year breast cancer survival rate is almost 90%, according to the National Cancer Institute.
