St. John’s Health takes a comprehensive approach to women’s
health issues, including breast health. From prevention and screening
to treatment and survivorship, St. John’s Health is here for you.
We offer a variety of health care options to detect, treat, and help patients
beat breast cancer.
Diagnostic Imaging
Following American Cancer Society guidelines, St. John’s Health recommends
a yearly mammogram for all women, starting at age 40. St. John’s
Health is certified by the American College of Radiology as a Breast Imaging
Center of Excellence, the only hospital in the region to earn this distinction.
Our board-certified radiologists provide comprehensive breast services,
integrating 3-D computer-aided mammography and ultrasound for the highest
quality care
You will experience a cushioning system for a softer mammogram
We offer ultrasound, stereotactic, and MRI-guided breast biopsies, as well
as sentinel node mapping
Getting your screening at St. John’s Health assures that you are
receiving the highest quality service and imaging.
St. John’s Health offers a full time board certified oncologist on
site. Additionally, our nationally-certified oncology nurse practitioners
and chemotherapy/biotherapy certified oncology nurses provide daily care,
infusions, and procedures. Each patient has an individualized treatment
plan coordinated with diagnostic imaging, medical and radiation oncology,
and plastic surgery.
People who have completed or who are undergoing cancer treatment are eligible
for free survivorship services. This program aims to help survivors and
their loved ones heal from the challenges that can result from cancer
and its treatments.
Survivorship services for patients, caregivers, and family members include:
Our board-certified general surgeons provide evaluations and treatment,
including skin-sparing/nipple-sparing mastectomy, along with breast-conserving therapy.
Surgical options include sentinel lymph node biopsy and oncoplastic resections,
as well as prophylactic mastectomy for patients who have the BRCA gene mutation.
For uninsured or underinsured patients, St. John’s offers financial
resources to cover the cost of a screening mammogram and follow-up care
if necessary. Learn more about the
