BOCA RATON, FL – May 31, 2018 – The Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute at
Boca Raton Regional Hospital is now providing Saturday appointments as
a more convenient option for patients with workweek responsibilities.
The Hospital offers screening and diagnostic mammograms, breast ultrasounds,
same-day results as well as bone density on the
first Saturday of each month beginning June 2.
“We all lead hectic lives, but health must always be made a top priority.
Our new Saturday hours represent the Institute’s commitment to ensuring
both comprehensive and convenient care,” said Shakira Sarquis-Kolber,
Director of Women’s Imaging at the Lynn Women’s Health &
Wellness Institute. “We are most pleased to provide women with this
appointment option.”
Mammograms will be performed using the Senographe Pristina™, the
next generation in 3D mammography. The Pristina is faster, quieter and
has rounded corners with contoured armrests instead of handgrips to maximize
comfort during the exam. All mammograms are performed in SensorySuites,
which are infused with calming fragrances and provide flat screen monitors
that display soothing videos and photos to create a serene environment.
“As the first hospital in the nation to offer the Pristina experience,
our Women’s Institute continues to set the standard in breast health.
We have the latest technology, outstanding physicians and support staff,
years of expertise, a top-quality facility, expedited results and now
a more accommodating alternative to scheduling mammograms,” said
Kathy Schilling, MD, Medical Director of the Lynn Women’s Health
& Wellness Institute.
Major insurances are accepted and financial assistance is available for
those without coverage who qualify. Appointments can be made by calling
561.955.4700.
