Mammography moves to expanded Baptist Imaging Center

 

Michelle Peppers can testify to the importance of mammograms.

Peppers, 42, of Paducah was one week shy of her 40th birthday when a mammogram revealed cancer in her right breast. She had no family history of the disease. 

After a mammogram and other tests at Western Baptist, she began treatment for breast cancer. Everyone at Western Baptist "was so sweet to me," she said. 

Outpatient digital mammography recently moved to the expanded Baptist Imaging Center, next door to Western Baptist Hospital. 

Five technologists, with a combined experience totaling 112 years, perform more than 650 mammograms each month in the new mammography suite, with features a spa-like atmosphere and art work by local breast cancer survivors.
