Cancer Prevention For Women

Mom may have said it, but it's still good advice: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. 

We believe that's right - and that's why SoutheastHEALTH is committed to health education for women with programs like Heart Smart screenings and the Southeast Breast Care and Diagnostic Center, located at #60 Doctors’ Park in Cape Girardeau.

The Southeast  Breast Care & Diagnostic Center provides the most advanced breast health care services available in one convenient location including the latest Digital Mammography technology and diagnostic imaging (X-ray, ultrasound, digital mammography, bone density).

The Center is designed to provide a unique approach to comprehensive breast care. Here patients are treated with the utmost care and dignity, and services are provided in calm, comfortable and attractive surroundings.

Screenings are completed promptly and efficiently by a team of health care professionals including some of the most respected breast care specialists in the region.

The American Cancer Society recommends that all women age 40 and older should have a mammogram every year.

Any woman whose family history indicates a special risk should consult her physician about beginning mammograms at an earlier age.

Southeast Hospital's mammography services reflect our commitment to care that is as personalized as it is technologically advanced.

The service is located at #60 Doctors’ Park in Cape Girardeau. To schedule an X-ray, ultrasound, digital mammography or bone density test, call 573-334-6464.

Hours of the clinic include: 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., Monday - Friday for Diagnostic Imaging
