The funds raised from Impact the Cure are intended to support breast cancer services to include free mammography services for uninsured people in Dickinson County.
A mammogram is a series of x-ray images of breast tissue. It is a valuable screening that can detect breast cancer quickly, before a suspicious mass can be felt. Memorial Hospital uses digital mammography. Mammography Services at Memorial Hospital are accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR).
Mammography services are provided by the Imaging and Radiology Department at Memorial Hospital, 511 N.E. 10th Street.
