Breast Health Program

Call to make an appointment.

At Norton Healthcare, we believe that health care is self-care, and caring for your breast health is one of the most important investments you can make in your overall well-being. Through the combined expertise of Norton Women’s Care and Norton Cancer Institute, the Norton Healthcare Breast Health Program provides comprehensive, compassionate care designed to support you through every stage of your journey.

Whether you’re scheduling your first screening mammogram, managing a high-risk diagnosis, undergoing surgery or reconstructive plastic surgery, or navigating cancer treatment and survivorship, our team is here to guide and support you — physically, emotionally and mentally.

Expertise and Support at Every Stage

As a program recognized by the American College of Surgeons National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, we are committed to delivering the highest quality breast health services in Louisville, and Southern Indiana.

Routine screenings can reveal tumors before they are large enough to be felt.

Are you age 40 or older? It may be time to begin receiving annual breast cancer screenings. Guidelines depend on your age and other risk factors.

Easy Access to Breast Health Care

The Norton Prevention & Wellness Mobile Prevention Center brings wellness exams and mammograms to your neighborhood for women ages 40 and older. Our fully accessible, 40-foot mobile medical facility staffed with experienced health care providers is equipped with top-of-the-line mammography equipment and an exam room.
