Our Lymphedema Program features an expert who provides individualized and
group consultation, education, and referral for complete decongestive
therapy.
Early detection of breast cancer ensures long-term survival and the use of
less invasive surgery during treatment. Monthly self-examinations, annual
clinical evaluations and yearly sequential mammograms form the basis of this
effort. Free clinical breast exams for women who are asymptomatic are
available on Thursday afternoons at the Breast Care Center as well as no-cost
or low-cost mammograms for income-eligible women. Our participation in the
Healthy Living Partnership grant also means that all women screened through
the program are eligible for complete coverage of all related diagnostic
testing.
Where Do I Park?
Enter from Riverside Drive and proceed down the small hill, past the DePaul
Pavilion, on your left. Park in the designated DePaul Pavilion parking area,
located in Lot D. For your convenience, there is a circular patient
drop-off/pick-up area in front of the building.
In the Community
Lourdes is also bringing women's health services out into the community. We
offer screening mammography services at our Vestal Medical Center
location at 1020 Vestal Parkway, Vestal. In addition, Lourdes Mission in
Motion program offers breast exams, mammography screenings, pap smears,
pelvic exams and education throughout the region. Women may use the mobile
mammography unit for breast and cervical screenings if they:
- Have no current breast problems or symptoms.
- Have not had a
breast biopsy within the last five years, and any prior biopsy was benign.
-
Have no history of breast surgery other than biopsy. Have no history of
breast reduction or implants.
