We are breaking down how mammograms detect breast cancer and why early detection is key!

Why early detection matters:
• When breast cancer is found at a localized stage, the five-year survival rate can be as high as 99%
• Smaller tumors often need less aggressive treatment, meaning faster recovery and fewer side effects
• Catching cancer early reduces the risk it will spread to lymph nodes or other organs

“Catching cancer early gives our patients the best chance at a full recovery,” says Rhonda Mott, Chief Radiologic Technologist.
Save this post, share with the women you love, and empower each other with knowledge. Ask your provider for a mammogram order, then call (618) 826-4581 to schedule your 3D screening today.

A recent upgrade to the Memorial Community Pharmacy crash cart is making a big impact, thanks to the creativity and expertise of Dr. Kirkpatrick.

Using his 3D-printing skills, he designed and created custom medication trays that have transformed how medications are organized and stored. Replacing the cut-up Styrofoam inserts previously in use, the new trays provide a cleaner, more professional solution with designated spaces for medications and labels while allowing the crash cart lid to close properly.

Beyond improving organization, these custom trays help support efficiency and patient safety by making medications easier to identify and access when every second counts.

We are incredibly grateful for Dr. Kirkpatrick’s innovation, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond to improve our processes. His ability to think outside the box, or in this case, print one, is making a real difference for our team and the patients we serve.

If your hair ever reached this level of volume... it might be time to turn up the volume on your health, too. 🎤💗

Big hair, bold looks, unforgettable music. Some things from the 80s are hard to forget. But if you can’t remember when you had your last mammogram, consider this your reminder!

Mammograms can detect breast changes before symptoms appear, helping find breast cancer earlier when there may be more treatment options.

Ready for your next health hit? 🎶 Ask your provider for a mammogram order, then call Memorial Hospital at 618-826-4581 to schedule your 3D mammogram.

Bonus points if you tag someone who once owned a crimping iron. 😉💗
