These advances in technology will benefit the patient and the provider, accelerating detection of breast cancers and improving the precision of screening mammograms. Not only are we proud to offer the latest technology to our community, but we’ve worked hard to make doing the right thing for your health, the easy thing. Island Health offers convenient evening and weekend screening mammography appointments, easily scheduled through the myIslandHealth patient portal.
