Women's Center

Conveniently located in Saint John’s Ambulatory Services Center, the Women’s Center’s atmosphere, staff, programs and services are geared totally to women. The Women’s Center utilizes state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques to detect breast disease. Sophisticated equipment includes new digital mammography, stereotactic core needle biopsy system, breast MR, and breast ultrasound.

Saint John’s was the first Madison County facility to achieve accreditation by the American College of Radiology for mammography services. Digital mammography is the most advanced form of breast diagnosis and provides the clearest images with the least radiation. Women age 35 and over should have regularly scheduled mammograms. To have a mammogram scheduled at Saint John’s Women’s Center, women should consult their physician regarding the schedule appropriate for them and request that the exam be conducted at Saint John’s Women’s Center.

Saint John’s is the only facility in Madison County to offer stereotactic core needle biopsy system. After a three-dimensional X-ray pinpoints the lesion, a special needle extracts tissue cores for analysis.

Also, the Women’s Center provides a variety of health education literature and videos pertaining to women’s health issues. Breast Self Exam instruction also is available.
