Mammograms are the best tool available for detecting breast cancer.  It is important that women and their health care providers discuss their specific, individual circumstances to best determine the safest and most-effective approach to medical care and the use of mammograms.  Women need to understand their specific risk for breast cancer so they can make informed decisions with their providers about their individual mammography schedule.

No referral needed, call 218.616.3153 to schedule your annual mammogram today!
