Adams Memorial Hospital is sponsoring this month a special event to celebrate women’s health: Mammography Night.
The hospital’s radiology department will offer the event on Monday, Oct. 23, from 4 to 7:30 p.m.
Trisha Tester (photo), Radiology Technical Lead, said the event features a 3-D screening mammogram and is tailored for women who have not had a mammogram in the past three years or who have not had a previous one done at Adams Memorial Hospital.
Refreshments, gifts, and free back massages will be offered by Deb Barron to those attending, allowing women to enjoy the night in a relaxed setting, officials said.
All mammograms done will be interpreted by board-certified radiologists from Summit Radiology in Fort Wayne using the latest in digital technology.
To schedule a mammogram for the Oct, 23 event, call the hospital’s Central Scheduling Department (260) 724-2145, ext. 11047.
The cost of the mammogram will be filed with the individual’s insurance plan.
The Radiology Department also noted that since AMH has received a grant from the Indiana Breast Cancer Awareness Trust Grant, individuals who qualify financially as well as not having one done in the past at AMH would receive the test at no cost.
