At OSF Saint James, we’ll walk you through
the whole process from the screening mammogram through any potential
follow-up testing. Not everyone needs additional testing. But if you
do, be assured that it’s all available at OSF Saint James. Our new
state-of-the-art facility is equipped with the latest diagnostic
equipment -- the same technology that is found at larger medical
centers and specialized breast health centers. And just like the
larger centers, we have physicians that specialize in breast health.
In fact, the OSF Saint James general surgeon who performs definitive
surgical care was trained by surgeons at one of the largest breast
cancer centers in Central Illinois.
But
there’s something extra that you’ll find at OSF Saint James that you
rarely find at many of the larger specialized centers. We take the
time to hold your hand. Whether you fear the discomfort in having a
mammogram or fear the news of abnormal results, we are here to help
ease your fears. We won’t let you stand alone.
We
walk you through each step, ease each fear and answer each question
along the way in the screening and diagnostic process. If treatment
is necessary, we’ll help you find the one that’s right for you.
After all, we’ve come to know you as a friend. We’ll hold your hand.
Our
staff of highly qualified professionals looks out for your best
interests. We work closely with all physicians and surgeons. It’s
your choice to use us for all of your breast health services. And,
it’s our privilege to serve you. If your physician has questions
about your particular situation, our services or our staff, we
encourage you to have him or her contact our Outpatient Services
Department at 815-842-4932. We work as a team and would welcome your
physician’s involvement as a member of your healthcare team.
