Early detection is priceless. That is why for a limited time only Presbyterian Hospital of Rockwall (PHR) is offering mammograms at an incredible price. The value of a normal screening mammogram can cost as much as $250.00. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, PHR will be offering this screening at a discounted rate of $75, October 1st through October 31st, 2008. This includes the cost of the client’s screening mammogram and the radiologist’s fee. Interested clients should call (469)698-1100 to schedule an appointment. Saturday appointments are also available on October 18, however limited space is available.
Mammograms are X-rays of the breast that are used to see lumps and other changes in breast tissue. The mammography unit at PHR produces optimal images with faster exposure times using the least amount of radiation. The result is less discomfort and a lower probability of re-testing due to motion blur. “Soft touch” mammography pads are used to make the procedure more comfortable for clients.
“We are totally committed to women’s healthcare and the fight against breast disease,” said David Whittington, Director of Radiology at PHR.
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women, but the survival rates are increasing due to early detection and the new technology used at PHR. The staff encourages clients to take advantage of this opportunity by making an appointment and starting their own crusade against breast disease.
“The distinguishing feature of imaging at Presbyterian Hospital of Rockwall is outstanding patient care in a modern, technologically advanced setting,” Dr. Ray Brunson, MD, radiologist at PHR said. “The staff ensures quality work while maintaining every woman’s modesty and privacy.”
Presbyterian Hospital of Rockwall is located in the heart of Rockwall and offers 50 inpatient beds for acute medical and surgical needs, advanced medical technology and comprehensive services focused on quality patient care and safety, close to home.
