In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, you may easily ignore other health issues such as breast cancer, but the threat is still present. Only 74% of the population Hawaii is up to date with mammography screening. Adventist Health Castle’s Mammography Department is open and safe and encourages all women over 40 to keep up with annual screening mammograms.
“We have developed new COVID-19 workflows and area cleanings to ensure your exam is as safe and comfortable as possible,” Imaging Director Kristen Polenz says. “Evening and weekend appointments are available to fit your schedule, no order needed for a screening exam.” Call Castle’s Mammography Department at 263-5166 today to schedule your appointment.
