October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Tune in as we discuss Early Detection with patients, advocates, educators and schedule your screening!

Help us reach our goal of scheduling 250 mammograms by the end of the month.

Early detection is the best way to treat breast cancer. We’re dedicated to helping all women improve their chances of survival.

To schedule an appointment at Bellevue Woman's (Breast Health) Center, call the Scheduling Department for Breast Care Services at 518-246-1000 or use the Request an Appointment button.

During Mammothon, we see a lot of people scheduling their mammograms. Even if your appointment isn’t right away, the most important step is simply getting it on your schedule.

If you don’t have insurance or a doctor, we can help connect you with services to support you and obtain a prescription.

Self Care is Essential

Women often put others first—this is your reminder to put your health at the top of the list.

You can't care for your loved ones if you don't take care of yourself

Screening Guidelines Matter

Early detection leads to higher survival rates.

Ellis Medicine, as part of the Roswell Park Care Network, follows National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines recommending annual mammograms starting at age 40.

Under 40? Talk to your doctor about your personal risk factors to confirm what age makes sense for you.

Why should you schedule a Mammogram?

Did you know:

1 in 8 women will get breast cancer in their lifetime
Regular screenings can reduce your risk of dying from breast cancer by 20%.

Digital Mammograms are the gold standard in diagnosing breast cancer early since they can detect issues before you can feel them. The earlier you detect an issue, the sooner you can start the right treatment for you and improve your chances of survival.

We know mammograms can be scary, so we strive to help you feel as comfortable as possible.
Our MammoPad provides a softer, warmer experience with less discomfort.

At Bellevue Woman’s Center, we offer screening mammograms for women aged 40 or older and younger women with a high risk for breast cancer due to family history or genetics. You should talk to your doctor to learn if a screening mammogram is right for you.

We are dedicated to the health of all women at Bellevue Woman’s Center.
