Breast Health

Taking care of your breast health is an important part of overall wellness. At Baptist Health, our experienced team offers both preventive care and treatments to help women stay healthy.

1 in 8 Can’t Wait

Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the U.S. Because of this, Baptist Health created a full program of women’s breast health services. Dr. Kay Chandler of Baptist Health shares why breast cancer awareness and mammograms are so important.

Mammography

Mammography is the most reliable way to find breast cancer early. Baptist Health works hard to share the importance of mammograms with women across Arkansas. Women who do monthly self-exams, see their doctor once a year, and get yearly mammograms after age 40 can improve their chance of surviving breast cancer by up to 97%.

The Benefits of 3D Mammography

3D mammography is one of the most advanced technologies available. The images can be enhanced, magnified or adjusted for clearer results.
