Baptist Women's Health Center

The Baptist Women's Health Center is a full-service mammography center. We strive to educate and empower women to take control of their breast health and wellness. We combine experience, innovation and compassion to provide outstanding, patient-centered care.

The National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) and the American College of Radiology (ACR) has placed our facility in the top two percent in the nation for Quality and Clinical Excellence. Baptist Women's Health Center is an ACR-accredited center of excellence in mammograms, stereotactic biopsy and breast ultrasound.

Women’s Breast Health Services

We are dedicated to providing quality breast care from the moment you arrive. Our all-female clinical staff and all-female radiologists are specialists in breast care who take the time to listen and respond to your concerns. Some of our breast health services include:

• Screening and diagnostic mammograms
• Bone density scans
• Breast health education
• Breast cancer support groups

To further establish a sense of well-being and trust with our patients, we offer front-door parking and modern sitting rooms where you may wait while preparing for your exams and sensory rooms with dimmed lighting and aromatherapy.

Clinical Excellence in a Comfortable Setting

Many women feel overwhelmed when undergoing testing for conditions as serious as breast cancer. We understand it can create anxiety and tension. That’s why we work hard to curate a peaceful atmosphere at our Women’s Health Center.

Patients can relax by our water feature, and browse art created by survivors, while waiting for their diagnostic images to be evaluated. The center is also equipped with warm lighting, cozy robes, and other special touches to make the experience as comfortable as possible.
