Verde Valley News – In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Northern Arizona Healthcare in Sedona and Cottonwood will be offering its annual $85 screening mammograms, including 3D digital screening and reading fee, throughout the month of October.
Our goal is to make screening mammograms more attainable for all, regardless of insurance coverage,” said NAH Oncology Service Line Administrator Amy Stapleton.
Cancer Centers of Northern Arizona Healthcare recommend women 40 and older have annual screening mammograms and continue to do so at the advice of their physician. Early detection is the most effective and efficient tool to identify treatment options and increase long-term survival rates.
“Breast Cancer Awareness Month is about educating the public about this disease, and we want to help people understand how important preventive care is,” Stapleton said. “An annual mammogram is the first, important step a woman can take to control her breast cancer risk. We also encourage women to educate themselves about what changes they can make in their lifestyle to lower the risk of breast cancer and improve their overall health.”
Sedona Breast Care is located at 3700 W. State Route 89A, Suite B; Verde Valley Medical Imaging Center in Cottonwood is located at 340 S. Willard St. To schedule a screening mammogram in October, please call 928-639-6580. Appointments are offered on a first come, first served basis, and it is highly recommended individuals book their appointments early. Please note, if there is no availability at a patient’s first choice location, NAH can book an appointment at another location with availability.
