The Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine and the YMCA of Greater St. Louis have announced a partnership
to offer health screenings, education and cancer prevention information across the region. As part of this effort, the Siteman Cancer Center's mammography van will regularly visit YMCAs across the region from now through August.
The Siteman Cancer Center Mammography Van will be at the following YMCA locations to screen women for breast cancer:
From 8:00 a.m. to approximately 4:00 p.m.
Patients should call 314-747-7222 or 1-800-600-3606 to schedule their appointments.
The American Cancer Society recommends annual screening mammograms for women beginning at age 40. However, a strong family history of breast cancer or other risk factors, such as a personal history of ovarian cancer or Hodgkin’s disease or a prior breast biopsy that showed high risk, may cause a woman to begin screening at an earlier age. Such individuals should check with their healthcare providers.
The Siteman Cancer Center Mammography Van will perform screening mammograms for women without a written note from their physician if they meet the criteria below:
If women are between the ages of 35 and 39, meet the last five criteria above, and have cause to begin earlier screening, they must have a doctor’s written request. Women younger than age 35 cannot be screened on the van.
The examination fee (a portion charged by Barnes-Jewish Hospital for the technical component and a portion charged by Washington University School of Medicine for the professional component) will be direct billed to the patient, her insurance company, or Medicare. Insurance cards should be brought to the appointment. For more information, contact your local YMCA or visit www.ymcastlouis.org
