Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in Georgia. Early detection is your strongest ally – and source of hope – in the fight. Annual mammograms can detect breast cancer before symptoms appear, and when caught in its earliest, localized stages, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99 %.
Southwell’ s providers perform annual mammograms and routine gynecological screenings for women throughout our communities. Tift Regional Medical Center is the only hospital in South Georgia recognized by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers and as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology.
Schedule your mammogram today – a few minutes of your time could save many more years for your future.
