TE T MAMMO to 24587 to Schedule Your 3D Mammogram ANOTHER FIRST AT EXCELA HEALTH As the first in the region to screen every woman with 3D technology, Excela Health now offers a national first – texting for mammography appointments through a secure link. You simply text the word MAMMO to the number 24587 and complete a short form that allows schedulers to do the rest. “In an age of digital s saturation, we were looking for a quick, conve- nient way women could schedule this important test without phone calls or waits,” noted Jennifer Miele, vice president, Marketing and Communication. “Now, there’s one less excuse to skip a 3D mammo- gram; it’s a screening that improves cancer detection significantly.” Excela Health also offers Walk-In Wednesdays* (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.), a no appointment, no doctor’s order means of getting your 3D mammo- gram. For those who prefer a more traditional way to schedule a mammogram, call 724-689-0100 for an appointment. In addition to weekdays, appointments are also available evenings and Saturdays. Excela Health performs 3D mammograms, also called Digital Breast Tomosynthesis, at its hospitals located in Greensburg, Latrobe and Mount Pleasant, as well as Excela Square at Norwin, North Huntingdon. *If you are uninsured or underinsured, called Centralized Scheduling, 724-680-0100, prior to walking in.
