University Healthcare to offer discount mammograms

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. – WVU Medicine University Healthcare will hold discount mammogram clinics in May at both Berkeley Medical Center in Martinsburg and Jefferson Medical Center in Ranson.

These special 3D tomosynthesis digital mammography clinics will be held on three Saturdays in May. Berkeley Medical Center will offer the clinics from 8 a.m. until noon at the Women’s Imaging Center in the Tennessee Avenue Medical Office Building (MOB3) on May 7, 14, and 21. Jefferson Medical Center will offer clinics from 8 a.m. until noon at the Women’s Imaging Center across the street from the hospital’s main entrance on May 21.

Screening mammograms will be offered at a discounted community service fee of $60 (cash, check, or credit card only), which includes the test and the interpretation by a radiologist. WVU Medicine University Healthcare’s discount mammogram program is open to anyone age 35 and older.  

Although a physician’s order is not required to participate in the mammogram clinics, any patients without a physician will be assigned a physician to receive the test results.
