Abnormal Mammogram?

At the Women's Imaging Center at Wellington, a Patient Care Navigator Offers Support to men and women with abnormal mammograms.

Patients with diabetes should have their HgbA1c level monitored and know their readings. Every point or fraction of a point above 7 percent may increase a patient's risk for complications.
