SSM Health Breast Care

At SSM Health Breast Care, located inside SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital in Centralia, Illinois, we provide a compassionate and comprehensive approach to breast health. SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital is one of the first in Southern Illinois to offer the SmartCurve™ breast stabilization system, which is clinically proven to deliver a more comfortable mammogram without compromising image quality. This latest innovation is part of SSM Health’s ongoing commitment to superior breast cancer detection and has the potential to increase screening volume and compliance for the countless women who have reported avoiding regular mammograms due in large part to the fear of discomfort associated with breast compression.

Our services also include low-dose 3-D mammography, digital mammography, breast ultrasounds, and ultrasound-guided breast biopsies. Whether you need to schedule a mammogram or address a breast-related concern, our dedicated women's health specialists are here to prioritize your breast health.

Our nurse navigators guide you through the diagnostic evaluation, offering education and support throughout diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. With one in eight women diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, early detection and medical advancements are crucial in saving lives. At SSM Health Cancer Care, formerly the Oza Cancer Center in Mt. Vernon, IL, located on the campus of SSM Health Good Samaritan Hospital, our experts diagnose and treat breast cancer using advanced treatment options to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Patients must register in the main hospital lobby before their appointment. To schedule your imaging test, please call 618-436-7016.
