Make your next mammogram more comfortable
Mammograms are a woman's best chance at detecting breast cancer early, when it's often easier to treat. The screening can be a little uncomfortable. But remember: Your breasts will be compressed for just a few seconds at a time. And the whole test takes only about 20 minutes. These tips can help make it easier to get through.

Hints for a more relaxed screening. (1 min. read)

🌟 We Care Award Spotlight! 🌟
Please join us in congratulating Thomas Tobin-Taylor, ED Technician, and Rebecca Dottolo, NP, for going above and beyond in caring for their patients. 💙
At Oswego Health, We Care isn’t just our mantra — it’s who we are. We care about the little things. We care about being there. And Thomas and Rebecca recently showed just what that means in action.

A grateful parent shared:
“My son fell and needed a staple after hitting his head. He was terrified to come to the hospital after losing his Grandma, but Rebecca and Thomas were absolutely wonderful. They made him smile, reassured him he was strong and brave, and took their time to make him feel safe. Because of them, he now thinks differently about hospitals. From the bottom of my heart, thank you both — you deserve to be recognized for your kindness and compassion.”

💙 Thank you, Thomas and Rebecca, for truly embodying what We Care is all about — delivering exceptional care with heart, patience, and empathy.
