On October 17, a new Kettering Health Breast Center location opened in Springfield—making it the 15th site where Kettering Health provides personalized breast-health services. This opening offers advanced breast imaging for the first time in Clark County.

The Kettering Health Breast Center in Springfield is a comprehensive breast evaluation center offering the following services:

• Screening mammography, diagnostic mammography, breast ultrasound, X-ray-guided breast biopsy, ultrasound-guided breast biopsy, and DEXA bone density scans
• Patient-assisted compression devices, allowing patients to play an active role in determining their level of breast compression
• Cancer risk assessment, an evaluation of one’s risk for eight different hereditary cancers

Additional benefits of the new Springfield breast imaging location include the unique ability to have a bone scan and mammogram completed the same day and an environment designed specifically to be relaxing and calming like a spa, helping reduce the anxiety that can accompany a visit.

This new location brings more preventative and comprehensive breast imaging to Springfield residents, leading to earlier detection of breast cancer and, ultimately, improving the quality of life of the people in the community.
