Sacred Heart Ann Baroco Center Expands Mammography Services to Pace
Sacred Heart Women’s Hospital has expanded its mammography services with the opening of the Ann L. Baroco Center for Breast Health at Pace. The new branch of the Ann L. Baroco Center is located in the Sacred Heart Medical Park at Pace, 3754 Highway 90 and is currently accepting patients.
Early detection is a woman's best defense against serious illness. The Pace facility will provide on-site breast cancer screenings, nurse exams and evaluation, education, and digital mammography. The Ann L. Baroco Center is the only mammography clinic in the area to offer nurse exams, which can lead to greater detection of smaller tumors.
The American Cancer Society recommends annual mammograms for women over the age of 40. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for American women after lung cancer. Survival rates are good if the cancer is detected and treated before it has a chance to spread - 95 percent of women survive past the five-year mark.
To make an appointment for your yearly mammogram at the Ann L. Baroco Center for Breast Health at Pace, please call (850) 416-8078 and specify the Pace location.
For more information on the Ann L. Baroco Center at Pace, please call Sacred Heart at (850) 416-1600 or visit www.sacred-heart.org.
