Community Memorial Health System offers low-cost mammograms and seminar for expectant parents

Community Memorial Health System is dedicated to providing the best screening and imaging technologies to all women in the community. Early detection of breast cancer saves lives. Call now to schedule your mammogram!

In recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, CMHS is offering low-cost breast imaging to all women who schedule a screening during October at the Breast Center at Community Memorial Hospital in Ventura or at Ojai Valley Community Hospital.

During October at the Breast Center in Ventura, Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS) is available for patients with dense breasts for $150. Automatic Whole Breast Ultrasound (ABUS) is FDA-approved and used in combination with mammography for those who have dense breast tissue. Also at the Breast Center in October, 3D Breast Tomosynthesis is available for $90. Digital tomosynthesis creates a 3-dimensional picture of the breast using X-rays and is the latest breast imaging technology approved by the FDA. At Ojai Valley Community Hospital during October, traditional 2D mammography is available for $65. (These discounted rates are the cash price paid at the time of service and cannot be applied toward the patient’s deductible.)

To schedule a mammogram or screening, call the Breast Center at 805-948-5093 or call Ojai Valley Community Hospital at 805-640-2250. Visit the Breast Center at bc.cmhshealth.org to learn more about the services and screenings offered. The Breast Center is the first medical facility in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties to be a designated Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology. The Breast Center is located at 168 N. Brent St., suite 401 in Ventura.

Every new parent has a unique birthing experience. Community Memorial Health System is inviting parents-to-be to join a free online seminar that can help expectant parents get the most out of their unique birthing experience. The free seminar takes place at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 30.
