Baptist Memorial Hospital for Women features the Baptist Women’s Health Center, a full-service mammography and osteoporosis testing center for women. Everything from screening mammograms to diagnostic mammograms are performed here. The center also provides lymphedema treatment, education on women’s health and a breast cancer support group.
The Baptist Women’s Health Center was among the first seven centers in the nation to have a full-field digital mammography machine and offers the only mobile mammography units in Shelby County. The center also is equipped with warm lighting, robes and other special touches to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Patients can even bring their own robes. Baptist’s Women’s Health Center recently installed Second Look®, a new computer-aided detection system, that assists radiologists in early breast cancer detection. Second Look provides a computerized second review of both screening and diagnostic mammograms. The process draws radiologists’ attention to subtle changes in breast tissue that may indicate the presence of cancer. No additional procedures or tests are necessary, so Second Look will not lengthen a patient’s exam or office visit. In addition to the Women’s Health Center at the Baptist Women’s Hospital, there are other satellite locations in the Memphis area to conveniently serve our patients. Baptist introduced the first retail-based mammography center to Memphis, which is located in the Macy’s department store at Oak Court Mall and features screening mammographies and bone density tests for osteoporosis. No appointment is needed to have a mammography exam at the center. Short-range pagers are provided for patients who want to shop until their examination time arrives. The all-female staff also will provide breast care and self-examination instruction, as well as other educational materials. Women's Health Center Locations
