MAMMOGRAPHY - 2009
Click here for printable version.
Sign up now for your mammogram screening—100% coverage, no deductible! The Boeing St. Louis Wellness Program is pleased to offer on-site mammography to female employees. Mammography is an x-ray exam of the breasts and the most effective method of early detection for breast cancer. Early detection allows for the greatest cure rate of breast cancer.
Two mammography van providers will be on-site, Siteman Cancer Center (SCC) and St. Luke’s Hospital. Find your medical plan in the table below to determine your coverage and other screening-related information. If previous mammograms were done at another facility, please bring the name and address of that facility with you for any film requests that may be necessary.
