It’s some of the latest technology in screening for breast cancer.
The addition of a technologically advanced mammography system to the Ojai Valley was made possible thanks to $100,000 in proceeds from the Ojai Valley Community Hospital Foundation Guild’s annual Nightingale gala fundraising event and an additional $20,000 from the Swift Foundation.
The top-of-the-line system produces sharper 3D images and detects significantly more invasive cancer than 2D mammography, Ulrike Hayward, MD, told KCLU.
Those interested in scheduling a breast screening with the Hologic 3Dimensions Mammography System at Ojai Valley Community Hospital can call 805-646-1401 for an appointment or talk to their doctor for more information.
Ojai Valley Community Hospital is a community-based, 91-bed facility that provides inpatient acute care, outpatient services, skilled nursing services, and a 24-7 emergency room.
