As part of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Frankfort Regional Medical Center is offering extended hours for screening mammograms each Monday in October (7, 14, 21, 28) and November (4, 11, 18, 25).

Frankfort Regional’s digital mammography system was designed to help provide comprehensive mammography patient care - from screening and diagnosis, to interventional procedures. Plus, the system has a patient-centric design and intuitive controls that allow the technologists who perform the exams to focus on the patients, making the mammogram a comfortable and easy experience. The innovative digital system provides outstanding image quality and clear, highly detailed images of the breast. For the physician, it provides greater flexibility in viewing the exam and performing biopsies.

All women age 40 and over should get an annual mammogram - the best defense against breast cancer. If you haven't had a screening mammogram in the last year, talk to your physician about scheduling one.

Please encourage the women in your life to have this important health screening. Most insurances cover the cost of a screening mammogram (please check with your individual insurance plan to verify).

To schedule your screening mammogram, call Central Scheduling at (502) 226-1665. A physician order is required.
