Care at 50 and beyond

There are many medical conditions that are more common in women over the age of 50. Health concerns you should be aware of include abnormal blood sugar levels, cancer, chronic pain, heart disease, menopause and osteoporosis. Stay in control of your health by talking to a healthcare provider about your concerns.

Bone health – Osteoporosis or bone loss affect millions of women, especially as they age. As many as one in two women 50 and older will break a bone as a result of osteoporosis. We provide bone density screenings to determine if you are at risk for osteoporosis. These screenings measure the calcium and other minerals in a segment of your bone. These fast, effective and non-invasive tests are the first step. After your screening, we create a treatment plan to curb bone loss and manage your condition.
Breast health – While breast cancer is the most well-known concern, other conditions also affect breast health. We offer a variety of screenings, like 3-D mammography and ultrasound, to provide you with fast, accurate breast-health results. Read more about mammograms and learn about breast health.
