Calling All Women Over 40
A trusted provider for medical imaging throughout Winston-Salem and the surrounding communities, Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist Outpatient Imaging now offers three impeccable locations – Winston-Salem, Kernersville and the newest multi-specialty building at Friendly Center in Greensboro.
It’s never been easier or more convenient to make time for 3D Mammography, the gold standard for detecting breast cancers in their earliest, most treatable stages. 3D Mammography can detect breast cancers years before you can feel them.
That means stress-free scheduling for your all-important annual mammograms.Thanks to their ample appointment availability, it’s easy to arrange a visit that works for your schedule – even same day and next day appointments. Walk-ins are also welcome for X-ray and mammogram services, allowing you to prioritize your health without any delays. Evening and weekend hours are available for screening mammography.
Each freestanding outpatient location also allows for an affordable imaging exam whether you are an insured or uninsured patient.
Including mammography into your regular wellness routine has helped reduce breast cancer mortality rates by 40%, and while a large percentage of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history, having a mother, sister or daughter who has been diagnosed with breast cancer does increase your own chances.
“Accountability is also important, so why not make a point of going for a mammogram with your mother, sister or best friend to keep each other on track?” asks Administrator Dena Webb, who also highlights how Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist is shining the spotlight on age 40.
“Launched in June, our ‘40 & Fearless’ campaign has been a catalyst in reminding all women over the age of 40 about the importance of annual mammograms,” she explains. “On average, in a group of eight women of varying ages, one in eight is expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.”
Each imaging center’s partnership with the expert radiologists of Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist also allows them to bring the highest quality of care to patients in a comfortable outpatient setting. Each of their radiologists is board-certified, have specialty training in his or her specific field of radiology and extensive experience in diagnostic interpretation.
At every outpatient location, you’ll find state-of-the-art imaging and cutting edge technology, along with medical experts who offer the small town comfort and convenience of a neighborhood provider. These outstanding outpatient facilities also offer the highest quality, patient-centric care and a staff dedicated to your comfort and convenience.
