Sheila R. Veloz Breast Imaging Center is dedicating three Mondays in February, Women’s Health Month, to entice busy women to take time to take care of themselves by getting a mammogram and enjoying special treatment. “Mammo Mondays” was first initiated to encourage Henry Mayo employees, volunteers, physicians, and their office staff and spouses to get their annual mammograms. Health care professionals are invited to schedule appointments on Monday, February 8.
This year, Mammo Monday is extended to educators, school staff, and members of their families on February 15; Santa Clarita Valley businesswomen are encouraged to schedule mammograms on February 22.
During their appointment, participants receive complimentary mini-massages, snacks and special gifts.
Appointments are available 7:45 a.m. to 8 p.m. and can be scheduled by calling 661-253-8822. Insurance carriers will be billed; special cash pricing is available for un-insured patients. Please ask for details when scheduling appointments.
The Sheila R. Veloz Breast Imaging Center, a service of Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital, was created through the experiences of breast cancer survivors, patients and their families; the center is designed with a woman’s physical and emotional needs in mind. Their goal is to improve access to breast imaging services in the Santa Clarita Valley with the specific intent to make it easier and more convenient for women to have their annual mammograms and to reduce the anxiety associated with breast cancer detection.
Designated by the American College of Radiology as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence, the Sheila R. Veloz Breast Imaging Center is defined by quality standards and has undergone a rigorous accreditation process including image evaluations by a team of experts.
