Breast Health
St. Vincent's HealthCare (SVHC) is one of the pioneers when it comes to breast health. Our professionals believe that early detection of breast cancer is the strongest weapon in fighting the disease.
St. Vincent's Riverside
The Josephine H. Bryan Breast Health Center has long been a hallmark of coordinated, compassionate care at St. Vincent’s Medical Center Riverside. St. Vincent’s has provided breast imaging services for over 40 years. Components of the Center include digital mammography, breast ultrasound, minimally invasive biopsy, breast MRI, and bone densitometry. A library with Internet access is also available on site. In addition to the St. Vincent’s location, we have a mobile mammography unit that delivers services to women where it is most convenient. Whether it is in a shopping mall or at a place of work, women can take advantage of the mobile unit being near them. That means less time to drive to an appointment and more time to spend on you.
St. Vincent's Southside
In October 2008, SVHC opened another breast health center at the St. Vincent's Southside, formerly Luke’s Hospital, campus. Maintaining a high level of coordinated and compassionate care, the physicians and staff are dedicated to creating an excellent experience for all who come through this facility. Like St. Vincent's Riverside, St. Vincent's Southside offers digital mammography, breast ultrasound, minimally invasive biopsy, breast MRI, and bone densitometry.
Mobile Mammography
As an additional point of early detection, St. Vincent's Mobile Mammography program offers convenient access for screening mammograms to residents throughout Northeast Florida. Each year more than 3,000 women receive their screening mammograms through the mobile mammography unit, which also offers assistance to those who cannot afford this service.
The program is accredited by the American College of Radiology and certified by the Food and Drug Administration. Every mammogram is read by radiologists using the same state-of-the-art technology found at SVHC hospital locations.
