The Edna Owens Breast Center at AdventHealth Gordon is now offering extended hours for screening mammograms to provide convenient services for patients who have difficulty scheduling appointments during typical office hours. Extended hours are currently on Mondays and Tuesdays from 5 to 7 pm and the first Sunday of each month from 8 am to 12 pm.
“When it comes to breast cancer, early detection can be lifesaving,” said Ed Moyer, director of oncology at AdventHealth Gordon. “That is why it’s so important to us to offer extended hours for screening mammograms. We are committed to providing our patients with accessible and convenient health care to help them feel whole.”
To schedule an appointment for a screening mammogram, please call 706-602-4518.
