With a dedication to fighting breast cancer through early detection and timely treatments, the Sheila R. Veloz Breast Center is offering a special price for digital 3D mammograms during the month of May. Patients who are uninsured, have high deductibles, or whose insurance plans are not contracted by Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital can receive a routine screening 3D mammogram for the special cash price of $225.

The best available tool for breast cancer detection continues to be the mammogram. Taken over time, mammograms provide a way to identify changes in breast tissue, such as the appearance of a tumor. The Sheila R. Veloz Breast Center, designated as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology (ACR), now uses Genius 3D mammography, an FDA-approved system that detects 41 percent more invasive breast cancers and reduces false positives by up to 40 percent—which translates to early detection.

Appointments can be scheduled Monday through Friday, including lunchtimes and into the evening, as well as some weekends, by calling (661)200-1099. The Breast Imaging Center is located at 23929 McBean Parkway, Suite 101, Valencia, CA 91355.
