At Infirmary Health, we’re committed to helping women take charge
of their breast health. Regular mammograms are one of the most effective
ways to detect breast cancer early, when it’s easiest to treat.
The self-referral for mammograms process at Infirmary Health is only for
patients who do not have a healthcare provider. If you have a provider
and an order to receive a mammogram, call the Infirmary Central Scheduling
Department at
251-435-2255.
General Mammography Screening Guidelines:
Start screening at age 40
Women at high-risk should begin before the age of 40
Screening should be annual unless your provider recommends differently
Mammography Self-Referral Guidelines:
At Infirmary Health, patients can self-refer for annual or bi-annual mammograms
without a physician's order on the MyIHChart.
You may not self-refer if you have the following:
A healthcare provider
Concerns such as breast lumps, pain, redness, etc.
Breast cancer diagnosis
Received previous breast surgery or biopsy within the last three years
(prior to scheduling your appointment)
