The ladies of WHC want you to get your mammogram! 🌺

Our teams were twinning and pretty in pink today to share one important message: Screening for breast cancer is absolutely necessary!

🔎 Finding breast cancer early makes it easier to treat and beat. Even if you don't feel any lumps in a self exam, cancerous tumors can still be there as non-palpable tumors. Mammograms help find them. Having that 30-second squeeze can help you sleep easier for the next year.

Get yours done without leaving the 66547. 📞 Call 785-458-7338 to schedule!

🌸 Make your mammogram easier by staying close to home

Wamego Health Center has 3D mammography available right here in our community. 3D mammography is often considered more effective than traditional 2D mammography. It can catch cancers sooner and has a lower rate of false positives, especially for women who have dense breast tissue.

Additionally, MRI and ultrasound are available if you require more imaging. Women with a higher risk of breast cancer may need both an MRI and mammogram every year. You can do both without leaving the health center! DEXA bone scans can also be performed here as well.

📱 Schedule your mammogram by calling 785-458-7338.

🌻 Recently, two Wamego Health Center leaders, Brian Howells, Hospital Administrator, and Jayna Kelly MSN, RN, Director of Nursing, had the opportunity to share their story at the National Rural Health Association Annual Conference in Kansas City.

💡 During their session, “Growing Service Lines in Rural Communities,” they shared how WHC's advanced wound care began as just an idea 18 months ago. Now, it's grown into a reliable program that serves both inpatients and outpatients every day. Their presentation sparked great discussion and connection with other rural health leaders from across the country.
