Breast cancer is common. In the United States, one out of eight women receive a breast cancer diagnosis in her lifetime.
Breast cancer may be common, but there are many ways to lower the risk of developing it. At Luminis Health, we believe regular screenings and a healthy lifestyle are the best ways to lower your risk of breast cancer. Preventative Breast Care Breast health goes hand-in-hand with your overall health. Eating a healthy diet and managing your weight helps lower your risk of breast cancer. And the best way to detect breast cancer early is by having regular mammograms. A mammogram is an x-ray of the breast. It can uncover abnormalities, like a lump, before you can feel them. Luminis Health offers: Convenient evening and weekend mammogram appointments. Quick results and short wait times. Radiologists with special training in breast imaging who interpret every mammogram. 3D screening mammograms that give a more accurate look at the breast, which is especially helpful for women with dense breasts. Earlier detection of breast cancer and fewer callbacks about harmless abnormalities. A Risk Assessment and Prevention Program (RAPP) to identify women at high risk of developing breast cancer. Minimally invasive breast surgical procedures. And we exceed the American College of Radiology's breast imaging requirements by also offering breast ultrasound and breast MRI. At Luminis Health, we ensure cost is not be a barrier to getting regular mammograms. We have programs and services for those who are uninsured and underinsured.

We're devoted to delivering personalized care to help those with nonhealing wounds recover.
Most people who get a cut or blister recover within a short period of time. But roughly seven million Americans experience chronic, nonhealing wounds whenever they're injured. People with diabetes or poor circulation and those who are immobile are at greatest risk for wounds that won't heal without specialized intervention. We're devoted to delivering personalized care to help those with nonhealing wounds recover. We treat patients with diabetic ulcers, failed skin grafts, bed sores, radiation burns, gangrene and other complications. Why Choose Luminis Health Our team specializes in compassionate wound care. Trust us for your care because: We understand the underlying conditions that make it difficult for wounds to heal, including diabetes, vascular disease, arterial disease or radiation injuries; we can tailor care to your circumstances. We answer questions about dressing techniques and provide supplies, as needed, to increase your chances of success. More than 95% of Luminis Health Wound Center patients who follow their treatment regimens experience successfully healed wounds., Why Early Intervention Helps Wound Healing Some people may not realize right away they have a wound that isn't healing. Others may wait for several weeks before they seek medical intervention, hoping instead the wound will get better on its own. Your primary care provider, dermatologist or vascular interventionist can help you determine if a wound is not healing effectively and refer you to the Luminis Health Wound Center. The sooner you seek treatment for a non-healing wound, the easier it may be to recover. Wounds that remain open for longer periods are more likely to develop infections or evolve into difficult-to-heal skin ulcers. Wound-healing treatments that begin promptly are less likely to involve complications. At the Luminis Health Wound Center, we ask about your health history, assess your injury, and determine how much oxygen and blood flow reach your wound. All this influences your ability to heal. We then create a personalized treatment plan to help you recuperate.
