Breast cancer affects one in seven women each year in the United States. However, through early detection your chance for a full recovery is dramatically improved. The SwedishAmerican Center For Women offers mammography services that save lives.
Compared to other clinics in northern Illinois, our center is unique because we offer women the opportunity to have a screening mammogram and, if necessary, a diagnostic mammogram and additional testing the same day. If diagnostic studies are needed, women may opt to have them performed that same day and the receive results before leaving the center. This brings great peace of mind to our patients, who are not required to wait for results.
Located on the second floor of the Renaissance Pavilion at 1340 Charles Street, the Center For Women's comprehensive breast center provides patients with the most specialized services in northern Illinois. It offers you the comfort and privacy you deserve and the state-of-the-art technology you expect.
In one convenient location, we offer a variety of services to care for your breast health including mammography, breast ultrasound, stereotactic and ultrasound-guided core biopsies, breast MRI, and genetic risk assessments. For those women who have breast cancer, the center offers a team approach to treatment where physicians, nurses and other specialized staff discuss available options.
