We all have a reason to take care of our health.

JRMC is placing healthcare accountability at center stage in celebration of Breast Health Month. To support women’s health, JRMC is removing the barriers to the early detection of breast cancer. We’re literally rolling out the pink carpet to create a VIPink Experience for women receiving mammograms.

We invite men, women, young and old to join in making a “pinky swear” by voicing their promise to take responsibility for personal health or in support of others. Join us at Pinky Swear Headquarters.

IT’S RIGHT HERE.

At JRMC, we believe that early detection saves lives. That’s why we’re proud to offer contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM). As the first healthcare provider in Jamestown to introduce this life-saving tool, JRMC is raising the standard of care for our community.

The mammograph scan illustrates the advancements in breast imaging technology. A traditional 2D mammogram (left image) provides a single, flat image. In comparison, a 3D mammogram (right image) captures multiple images from various angles, creating a more detailed 3D view of the breast tissue.

However, the advanced screening method of a CEDM (center image) offers the most comprehensive assessment, especially for women with dense breasts. By injecting a contrast agent through the blood stream, the contrast flows throughout the bloodstream. The contrast will concentrate more within the potential abnormality, enabling radiologists to detect even subtle changes that may indicate early-stage cancer, which can be challenging to identify in dense breast tissue. With CEDM, you can feel confident in your care, knowing we’re using the most precise and gentle approach available.

Eliminating Barriers to Early Detection

The No Excuses program is designed for women with a lot on their minds. Some women need help affording their important routine health screenings, and if needed, the additional diagnostic and other procedures that may follow.

No Excuses is a simple name to help you remember that JRMC will help navigate whatever is in the way of your care, any time of the year.

I try to get my patients talking during their exams; it helps put them at ease and takes their mind off the mammogram. But I am also a good listener. I just want to be that person who can put you at ease while making a great choice for your health.
