Sevierville breast center provides advanced imaging, accredited services and coordinated care for women across the Smoky Mountains.
SEVIERVILLE, Tenn. (Smokies.LIVE Health Center) — Women in Sevier County and surrounding communities can access comprehensive breast health services close to home at Covenant Health LeConte Medical Center in Sevierville.
The hospital’s Comprehensive Breast Center is designated a Breast Center of Excellence and an American College of Radiology-designated Comprehensive Breast Imaging Center. Those credentials reflect the facility’s commitment to quality standards, patient safety and comprehensive breast imaging services.
LeConte’s breast center offers a range of accredited services, including mammography, stereotactic breast biopsy, breast ultrasound, ultrasound-guided breast biopsy and magnetic resonance imaging, commonly known as MRI.
The center combines advanced technology with personalized service and a comfortable environment, giving patients access to breast health resources without having to travel to a larger city for many services.
LeConte also offers a multidisciplinary program that brings together clinical and support services to help meet patients’ needs throughout their care.
Breast cancer screening is an important part of preventive health care. Mammograms can help detect breast cancer before symptoms develop, and early detection can improve the chances of successful treatment.
Women should talk with their health care providers about when to begin mammograms and how often to be screened based on their age, personal medical history and risk factors. Anyone who notices a new breast lump, changes in breast shape or skin, nipple changes or unusual discharge should contact a health care provider for evaluation.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is an opportunity to make breast health a priority, schedule recommended screenings and encourage family members and friends to do the same.
For women who call East Tennessee home, LeConte Medical Center offers access to comprehensive breast imaging and coordinated care in their own community.
