Kickstart the New Year With Better Health and Schedule an Online Mammography Appointment
January 13, 2025
You can now schedule a mammogram appointment 24/7 from your computer or cell phone, with no need to call.
As the New Year begins, Renown Health is encouraging the community to prioritize their health by setting achievable resolutions and taking steps for better well-being. To make it easier to stick to these goals, Renown Health is proud to announce the launch of online appointments for mammograms, providing greater convenience and accessibility to critical and essential preventative care. Last September, the health system added online appointment scheduling for adult primary care and pediatrics doctor appointments.
“Every New Year is an opportunity to focus on our health and well-being,” said Madeline Hardacre, MD, Oncology Wellness Physician, with Renown Breast Surgery Care. “With our new online scheduling tool for mammograms, we’re making care more accessible and affordable, increasing early detection and treatment for breast cancer, improving lives, families and the health of our community.”
Tips for a Healthier New Year
Dr. Hardacre and Renown Health clinical experts recommend incorporating these resolutions into your routine for a healthier 2025.
- Schedule Preventative Screenings: Early detection saves lives. Regular screenings, such as mammograms and annual physical examinations are essential for maintaining good health.
- Stay Active: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week to improve physical and mental health.
- Eat Balanced Meals: Focus on nutrient-rick goods to fuel your body and support your immune system.
- Prioritize Mental Health: Practice mindfulness, seek support when needed, and take time to recharge.
- Stay Connected: Building strong relationships contributes to overall well-being.
Convenient Online Mammogram & Primary Care Appointment Scheduling
Renown Health’s new online tool simplifies the process of scheduling mammograms. With just a few clicks at Online Appointments, people can book an appointment at a time and location that works for them.
“Mammograms are a vital tool in detecting early breast cancer early, when it’s most treatable,” added Michelle Chu, MD, an oncology breast surgeon with Renown Breast Surgery Care. “By offering online scheduling, we hope to encourage more women to prioritize this lifesaving screening.”
All Encouraged to Use Online Scheduling
With Renown’s new online scheduling feature, you can now book your mammography appointments without making a phone call to the office. In addition, people can book online appointments with Renown Medical Primary Care providers. The dedicated team of primary care physicians and pediatricians offer a full range of services—including annual checkups, complete physicals, immunizations, lab work, and referrals to specialists—at multiple locations across northern Nevada.
“One of the biggest advantages is that you can set an appointment when and where it’s convenient for you to do so,” said Sierra Kelly-Martinez, MPH, director of the Customer Engagement Center at Renown. “You can schedule that appointment whenever you want, at 9 o’clock at night, while waiting in line at the grocery store or whenever you think of doing it.”
“It’s really quite easy and empowering to have control of your own scheduling,” she adds.
