Grand Forks, N.D. – Sanford Health East Grand Forks, 929 Central Ave. N.W., is offering same-day mammography breast cancer screening services.

Mammograms are the best screening technology to detect breast cancer early. Sanford’s low dose 3D mammogram allows experts to detect breast cancer at its earliest and smallest stage. Finding breast cancer early can help improve a woman’s chance of survival.

“In light of breast cancer awareness month, it’s important to take time to be an advocate for yourself. We recommend women get screened once a year if they’re over the age of 40 or have a family history of breast cancer,” says Dr. Lisa James Tollefson. “We are proud to be able to provide same-day 3D mammograms to our patients to ensure they are able to live the healthiest and longest life possible.”

Sanford East Grand Forks has had 80 patients receive same-day breast cancer screenings in the last three months. To schedule your mammogram, please call (218) 773-6800.
