Whether you’ve found a lump or you’ve hit the big 4-0 and it’s time to get your mammogram, it’s common to feel nervous about the procedure and results.
Recent statistics indicate that 1 in 8 women may develop breast cancer during her lifetime, and while breast cancer is about 100 times less common among men than among women, a man’s lifetime risk of developing breast cancer is about 1 in 1,000. At Columbia Memorial Hospital (CMH) our aim is to reduce the burden of breast cancer in Oregon and SW Washington for both women and men.
Regular mammograms are the best way to protect your health and detect problems early. We are committed to helping you understand your risks, and provide the most personalized, advanced breast care possible in a setting that is comfortable and private while offering optimum scheduling convenience and financial assistance for screenings.
