Greater Family Health is pleased to announce that screening mammograms will now be available to our patients through a partnership with Ascension Healthcare and the New Roseland Community Hospital. A fully equipped mobile mammogram unit will be on-site at our health center in Hanover Park throughout 2026, making it easier than ever for eligible patients to receive this important preventive screening.
Mammograms play a key role in detecting breast cancer early. It is recommended that women who are 40 to 74 years old and are at average risk for breast cancer get a mammogram every 2 years.
Through this partnership, we aim to reduce barriers and provide convenient access to high‑quality breast imaging for our patients.
