Why Breast Health Matters
Early Detection Saves Lives
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, but when caught early, it is highly treatable. Regular screening can make all the difference.
Understanding Your Body
Being familiar with the look and feel of your breasts helps you notice changes quickly. Education empowers confidence in knowing what’s normal for you.
Accessible Support and Resources
From clinical breast exams and education to referrals for mammograms, ultrasounds, or specialty care, our team helps connect you with appropriate next steps and supportive resources.
Types of Screenings + When to Get Them
Knowing what screenings to get—and when—can make a powerful difference in protecting your breast health. Some services may be completed in-office, while imaging such as mammograms, ultrasounds, or MRIs may be referred to an outside imaging center or specialist.
Breast Self-Exam
Begin monthly by your 20s. Learn to identify changes in shape, size, or texture. Best done a few days after your period ends.
Clinical Breast Exam
Recommended every 1–3 years for women in their 20s and 30s, and annually for those 40+. Performed by a healthcare provider.
Mammogram
Mammograms are typically completed at an imaging center. If this screening is appropriate for you, our provider can discuss your risk factors and refer you for imaging.
Ultrasound
Breast ultrasounds are often used as follow-up imaging when more detail is needed. When indicated, our provider can refer you to an outside imaging center or specialist.
MRI Screening
MRI screening may be recommended for high-risk individuals, such as those with a strong family history or known genetic risk. This is typically coordinated through a specialist or imaging provider.
Genetic Testing
If you have a family history of breast cancer, your provider may discuss whether genetic counseling or testing may be appropriate.
How to Prepare for Your Screening
Feeling unsure about your visit or a referred imaging appointment? Here are a few simple steps to help you feel more prepared and confident.
Avoid deodorants or powders
These products can show up on mammograms and affect clarity. Go natural on screening day.
Wear a two-piece outfit
You'll be asked to undress from the waist up, so wearing a top with pants or a skirt makes things easier.
Time it post-period
If you're menstruating, aim to schedule your screening for a week after your period ends when your breasts are less tender.
Bring previous records
If this isn’t your first screening, bring prior images or reports to help with accurate comparisons.
Know your family history
Be prepared to share any known family breast cancer history—it helps assess your screening needs.
Ask questions
It’s okay to feel unsure. Bring a list of questions or concerns to review with your provider.
Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? You're not alone. Here are answers to some of the most common concerns about breast health screenings.
How often should I get a breast screening?
Most guidelines recommend screenings every 1 to 2 years for women aged 40 and older, but your personal risk factors may adjust that timeline.
Are mammograms painful?
Some pressure or discomfort is common, but the procedure is brief. If you're especially sensitive, let your provider know in advance.
What if my results are abnormal?
Abnormal results don’t always mean cancer. If additional testing is needed, your provider can help guide next steps and refer you for diagnostic imaging or specialty care.
Is breast screening covered by insurance?
Coverage can vary by insurance plan and by the imaging provider performing the service. It is best to confirm benefits with your insurance carrier and the referred imaging center before your appointment.
Can I still get screened if I have implants?
Yes, you can. Technicians are trained to safely and effectively perform mammograms on individuals with breast implants.
When should I start self-exams?
It's a good idea to begin monthly self-exams in your 20s to become familiar with your normal breast tissue and spot any changes early.
