Mobile Wellness Center of Stamford Hospital
Stamford Hospital has expanded its Mobile Mammography services to include digital mammography as well as bone density and cardiovascular screenings, all performed in its new Mobile Wellness Center.
Complete with all-digital equipment, the Mobile Wellness Center brings high-quality medical testing directly into the community. It features a comfortable registration area, two dressing rooms and a mammography/bone density screening room. Cardiovascular screenings include a health risk assessment: blood work and ultrasound screening for the heart, carotids, and vascular. The center provides the convenience of having screenings done quickly on site, in about 20 - 30 minutes, without the need to travel to and from the Hospital.
Mammography
The Mobile Wellness Center brings this potentially life-saving exam right into your community. Our mission is to screen and educate women in breast health awareness regardless of their background, income or insured or uninsured status. Our Mobile Mammography Program is accredited by the American College of Radiology. It is also FDA approved.
We will have you checked in, screened and finished in about 20 minutes. Our dedicated staff, which includes the secretary, technologist and radiologist, ensures the best quality care for our patients. We are HIPPA compliant and our turn-around time for reports to physicians and our patients is within 10 days by mail. We track all results by following the guidelines of the ACR and FDA.
The requirements to quality for a mammogram are as follows:
- You must be age appropriate--between the ages of 35 to 40, and 40 or older for a mammogram every year.
- Be an established patient with a doctor or clinic facility.
- Appointment is needed.
The Mobile Mammography Program offers free services to qualified uninsured and underinsured women.
The Mobile Wellness Center serves Fairfield and New Haven counties, operating Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Stamford Hospital partners with Planned Parenthood of Connecticut, The Witness Project of Connecticut, Optimus Healthcare and other area clinics, churches, senior groups, health fairs, factories and corporations to bring these life-saving screenings to women.
