FOR ALL WOMEN
Digital Mammography
Digital mammography is available at several locations throughout West Michigan. Digital mammography is beneficial for all women, but especially for younger women and those with dense breasts. A mammogram can find cancer that is too small for you or your doctor to feel. This new technology allows your radiologist to see your results more clearly. Digital mammography is available at our Hackley, Mercy, Lakes, and Lakeshore (Shelby) Campuses. Call 231-672-4800 to schedule a mammogram at any of these locations.

BREAST-CARE SERVICES
Mercy Health Partners provides many breast health services. No matter if you are expecting, have breast irregularities, or have received a breast cancer diagnosis, we have a dedicated team of breast-care experts ready to help you.
FOR BREAST CANCER SURVIVORS
Breast Reconstruction
For some women, breast reconstruction can be achieved through surgery techniques that restore a breast to near normal shape, appearance, and size following a mastectomy. If you are a candidate for breast reconstruction, your physician will work with you to provide the right breast reconstruction procedure for you. Talk with your doctor about your reconstruction options. Breast Friends—Breast Cancer Support Group
This is an opportunity for women who have or are experiencing breast cancer to share and learn more about diagnosis and treatment options. Breast Friends meets the first Wednesday of every month from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. at the Lakes Campus. For more information, call 231-672-3368. Breast Cancer Awareness
