Bladen County Hospital is excited to announce the new and improved upgrade to the mammography suite.

Radiology Manager, Tony Brisson stated “We began the renovations in hopes to increase our patient experience.” “With the calming environment and advanced technology, our goal is to make it as convenient as possible for patients to come in for their annual mammograms.”

Josie Hickman, Mammographer at CFV Bladen County Hospital announced, “Our goal is to alleviate all misconceptions of mammograms. Along with informing our community of the vital role this exam can play in women’s lives. In trying to accomplish this goal, we are now offering a brand new Caring Mammo Suite. This suite features Perfect Sky Ceiling Image, 4k Video Display, along with Nature-themed Video and Audio.”

She continued, “Our goal is to help reduce any stressors that may occur when thinking of getting a mammogram. I have numerous patients in disbelief after getting their first mammogram. Patients cannot believe they have put off having a mammogram due to all the stories they have heard in the past. Our patients leave surprised as to how easy it was. After all, early detection is the primary goal for annual mammograms. Getting this exam offers a greater treatment and survival rate if diagnosed with Breast Cancer. With minimal wait time and our focus to excel in patient care, we would like to offer this free screening tool to all women that meet the requirements of this screening exam.”

We are thrilled with the new updates and hope to see you soon.
