For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Baptist Health wants to remind all women over the age of 40 to schedule their yearly mammograms.
Regular mammograms are critical in ensuring breast cancer is caught early—and early detection is vital. This screening could be your most important appointment this year to ensure your health.
Baptist Health’s Breast Centers, clinics and hospitals are committed to providing a safe and comfortable atmosphere for your exam.
We offer comprehensive screening tools including:
• 3D Mammogram
• Breast Ultrasound
• Invenia ABUS 2.0 for Dense Breasts
To schedule your mammogram, call 1-888-BAPTIST (227-8478) or visit
1500 Dodson Ave., Ste. 140, Fort Smith 1.888.BAPTIST

Baptist Health Breast Center-Fort Smith offers a breast cancer screening option specifically for women with dense breast tissue. Over forty percent of women in the U.S. have dense breast tissue which can mask the appearance of tumors and limit the performance of mammography. The Invenia ABUS, or Automated Breast Ultrasound System, can see through dense tissue and find small cancers that may not be seen on mammography. Baptist Health recommends women get an annual mammogram starting at age 40. If you have dense tissue, talk to your doctor about additional screening like ABUS. To schedule a mammogram at Baptist Health or to learn more about your risk for breast cancer, visit BaptistHealthMammo. com or call 1-888-BAPTIST.

As women, we often find ourselves balancing the needs of our families and ourselves. From hearing our children’s laughter to staying engaged in conversations with friends or colleagues, hearing well is essential to maintaining those connections. Recognizing early signs of hearing loss in aging parents or even in ourselves can make all the difference. That’s why our team of female audiologists is committed to providing personalized, compassionate care that addresses your specific needs. We understand the unique challenges women face when it comes to hearing health and are here to help you and your loved ones experience life with clarity. After all, hearing well isn’t just about sound—it’s about staying connected to the moments and people that matter most.
