OCH offering 3D mammography screenings in October, November

MEDINA – October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Orleans Community Health is committed to promoting early detection and education to help combat this disease. In support of this initiative, Medina Memorial Hospital is offering 3D mammography screenings during the months of October and November.

3D mammography is a groundbreaking screening tool that improves the accuracy of breast cancer detection, said Scott Robinson, director of marketing for OCH. Unlike traditional mammograms, this advanced technology captures multiple images of the breast, giving radiologists a detailed, layer-by-layer view. This results in better detection rates, especially for women with dense breast tissue.

To qualify for a free screening, a mammogram appointment must be scheduled in October or November. Whether one already has an appointment or needs to book one, this offer applies only during these two months.

“We strongly encourage all women, especially those aged 40 and over, to schedule their appointments now,” Robinson said.

For women who require additional testing, onsite ultrasounds are also available. The hospital’s dedicated team provides compassionate care in a supportive and comfortable environment.

Breast cancer impacts countless families, and early detection can save lives. At Orleans Community Health, they believe access to advanced screenings makes all the difference.

“This October and November, join us in raising awareness, encouraging early detection and standing together in the fight against breast cancer,” Robinson urges.
