Breast Health


Mount Carmel's Women's Health Centers are accredited breast centers according to the Natonal Accreditation Program for Breast Centers

One in every eight women has a chance of developing breast cancer during her lifetime. So regardless of how you look or feel, it is important to take charge of your breast health. Making sure you have the resources, information and tools to do it is why Mount Carmel created our comprehensive breast health program.

The program puts you at the center of your care – beginning with education, prevention and screening. It starts with learning breast self-exam techniques and receiving an annual mammogram – both of which you can do at one of our Women's Health Centers. And if an abnormality is found, it ensures you’ll have seamless, compassionate care from diagnosis to treatment and recovery from our expert team of physicians, technologists and nurse navigators.

Nurse Navigators

Information and support are two of the most important and empowering things you can receive when you have breast health concerns.  And that’s exactly what Mount Carmel’s Breast Imaging Nurse Navigators provide.

Your Breast Team

Expertise is critical when it comes to breast cancer care. Mount Carmel has board-certified physicians with the kind of experience you can count on. Our Breast Disease Management Team includes all of the disciplines necessary to provide comprehensive, coordinated care.

Dense Breast Tissue

While all breasts are made up of fat and breast tissue, not all breasts have the same combination of the two. Some breasts have more fat than breast tissue, while others have more breast tissue than fat.
