At Memorial Hermann, we are passionate about proactive care — which is why we encourage all women to think of their annual screening mammogram as a short-term investment in their long-term health. Mammograms are considered one of the most effective screening tools used in the early detection of breast cancer, and when caught early, it may be easier to treat.
Memorial Hermann makes it convenient for you to stay on top of your health by making reliable quality imaging technology, like 3-D mammography, accessible at all of our breast care locations. Take your health into your own hands by making a screening mammogram part of your annual breast care routine.
