WMC Foundation Annual Fund to support the purchase of the latest mammography technology

The Winneshiek Medical Center Foundation has committed to raising $85,000 to support the upgrade of the hospital's mammography machine to 3D imaging.

3D mammography is a relatively new screening and diagnostic breast imaging tool to improve the early detection of breast cancer. Low-dose images from different angles around the breast are used to create the 3D picture. The detailed images allow for a better evaluation of the breast tissue, layer by layer. 3D mammography also can provide better images of dense breast tissue than conventional mammography, and is now covered by most insurance plans.

Gifts to the 2018 Annual Fund will support the purchase of newest mammography technology. For more information or to donate, visit www.winmedical.org/annual-fund, or call the Foundation office at (563) 387-3129.
