Breast Health Center

In the fight against breast cancer, early detection is your strongest weapon. That's why we've made it easier than ever for you to get a mammogram. We offer both diagnostic and screening mammography, ultrasound, stereotactic biopsy, and bone densitometry/osteoporosis screening in a convenient, comfortable and reassuring atmosphere. And you will have results within hours of your appointment for even more peace of mind. For more information visit our Breast Health Center page or call 931-502-1510.

Bone Densitometry/Osteoporosis Screening

One in three Caucasian women over the age of 50 have osteoporosis. It can result in curvature of the spine, loss of mobility and hip fractures, which account for more than one-third of all nursing home admissions. Thankfully, there is a painless screening exam that identifies bone loss, allowing for implementation of treatment at a much earlier stage. Bone density measurements can also evaluate response to treatment. To find out more about bone denisitometry, ask your doctor or call us at 931-502-1510.

Family Birth Center

Our Family Birth Center gives expectant parents opportunity to prepare themselves and their family for the birth experience with prenatal and sibling classes. The Family Birth Center offers private LDR (Labor, Delivery, Recovery) rooms and spacious post-partum suites. Pediatricians, neonatologists, and neonatal nurse practitioners provide care for babies in the well-baby and intensive care nurseries. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit provides a higher level of care for infants in need of more specialized attention. For more information visit our Family Birth Center page.

Lymphedema Therapy

Lymphedema is a condition caused by the accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the body that causes abnormal swelling in the arms and legs. Lymph is a clear fluid that develops in tissue spaces throughout the body, is part of the circulatory system of veins and arteries and accumulates as a result of damage to the lymphatic system. Presently, the most effective and least invasive approach recommended by physicians is Combined Decongestive Therapy (CDT), a combination of hygiene/topical skin care, manual lymphatic drainage, bandaging/compression and remedial exercises. For more information on lymphedema call 931-502-1400.
