Designed with You in Mind
Tanner Breast Health is an advanced facility offering a full range of women’s breast care from screenings and diagnostic procedures to state-of-the-art treatment. Operated by Tanner Health System, the facility gives patients easy, one-stop access to the latest medical technology as well as leading breast care specialists.

Breast Health Matters
Breast cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in American women, and it ranks second after lung cancer for the most cancer deaths in women. There is hope, however, as advances in detection techniques and treatments continue to push the likelihood of survival higher and higher.

A healthy lifestyle is important in helping prevent breast cancer, but according to the American Cancer Society, following early detection guidelines is the most important action a woman can take to improve her chances of a successful outcome. A combination of regular self-exams, clinical breast exams by a health professional and mammograms offers the best opportunity to reduce deaths from breast cancer.   

With this in mind, Tanner has dedicated an entire facility to bring the latest medical technologies and compassionate care to the women of west Georgia - Tanner Breast Health.
