Get care for your everyday health

Taking care of yourself so that you can continue to take care of those you love is important. And staying well starts with choosing a doctor who listens to understand you. Whether you need a yearly wellness exam or checkup, vaccinations, help managing a chronic condition, have a minor illness, or want to talk to a doctor about what’s on your mind, your primary care doctor is your first stop. Talk with your doctor about everyday healthcare questions, emotional health needs and concerns about symptoms. And, your doctor can help you stay healthy by providing preventive care and finding health concerns early.

If you have a health condition that needs more advanced care, your primary care doctor will connect you to a specialist in heart care, OB-GYN, brain and spine care, cancer care, orthopedic care, mental health, weight management and more.

Get up-to-date on breast health screenings

Finding breast cancer early can help save lives. That’s why it’s important for women to get a mammogram every year, beginning at age 40. At Ascension Saint Thomas, we offer many types of mammograms, including 3D mammography, the most advanced breast screening technology. Mammograms give you and your doctor a better understanding of your breast health.

By getting to know you and your health history, we can recommend the breast screening that’s right for you. Make time for screenings that may help catch things early. And talk with your doctor anytime you have concerns between screenings.
