Preventive Screenings

Regular preventive screenings are essential for early detection of health issues and long-term well-being. We offer and coordinate screenings that help identify problems early—often before symptoms appear—ensuring timely treatment and better outcomes.

Pap Smear & Cervical Health

A Pap smear (or Pap test) is a simple, routine screening that checks for abnormal cells in the cervix that may lead to cervical cancer.

Pap smear screening includes:

  • Performed in a quick and minimally uncomfortable outpatient visit

  • Recommended every 3 years for women aged 21–65 (or as advised by your doctor)

  • May be combined with HPV testing for women over 30

  • Helps detect precancerous changes and HPV-related risks

  • Essential part of routine gynecological care

Mammography Referrals & Breast Health

Mammography is a low-dose X-ray used to detect breast cancer early, often before any lump is felt. We provide referrals and support for timely screenings based on your age and risk factors.

Our approach to breast health includes:

  • Referrals for screening mammograms starting at age 40 (or earlier for high-risk patients)

  • Clinical breast exams during annual check-ups

  • Education on breast self-awareness and how to report any changes

  • Coordination with imaging centers for seamless care

  • Follow-up support and guidance if further evaluation is needed

Importance of Preventive Screenings

Preventive screenings save lives through early detection, which allows for more effective and less invasive treatment options.

Benefits of regular screenings:

  • Early detection of cervical and breast cancers

  • Peace of mind and proactive health management

  • Reduced need for more aggressive treatments

  • Personalized screening schedules based on age, family history, and risk factors

  • Empowerment through education and awareness
