This October, Make Time for Your Mammogram
Early Detection Saves Lives
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it's a good time to take care of something that's easy to put off: your mammogram.
Regular mammograms are an important way to catch problems early and take action for your health. If you're due for a screening, or you have a mammogram order you haven't gotten to yet, this is a great month to make the call. Taking care of your health is part of how you keep showing up for the people and things you care about.
How to schedule & get your screening covered
Call Mount Baker Imaging at (360) 733-0430 to schedule your mammogram.
If you have a Managed Care Plan, such as CHPW or Molina, you don't need an order from your doctor for a screening. Just contact the imaging center directly, and they will assist you.
Mount Baker Imaging applies Unity Care NW's Sliding Fee Discount to screenings for enrolled patients. If you'd prefer to go somewhere else, just let us know.
