Self-Exam How-To Guide
Regular breast self-exams are one way to help you get used to how your breasts normally look and feel.
Our Facilities
’Ohana Mammography Center
’Ohana provides women of the Yakima Valley with a caring and collaborative approach to health, bringing together the latest technology and expertise in breast health. At ’Ohana, women find a comfortable and peaceful setting to serve their breast health care needs.
Early detection remains a woman's best defense in the battle against breast cancer. Like all cancers, breast cancer develops when abnormal cells in the body change and grow out of control. When problematic breast tissue cells are diagnosed early, the prognosis for cure is extremely high.
To fully serve the needs of women, a comprehensive approach to breast health is vital. ’Ohana offers a communications linkage for women to access doctors, diagnosticians, counselors and other health professionals. The goal is to improve each woman's health experience, by providing a haven of information, comfort and encouragement. Although mammography services are the foundation of ’Ohana, additional diagnostic and support services are offered in the same beautiful facility.
‘Ohana offers walk-in clinic hours for screening mammograms on Fridays from 4 to 6 p.m. No appointment in necessary—just bring the name of your primary care physician with you. Patients will be seen in the order of arrival. Spanish interpreters are available. |
