, , , , ,

Catherine GrantExperCARE, a leading provider of on-demand healthcare services across Georgia and Alabama, has announced a planned leadership transition. Catherine Grant, the visionary Founder and Chief Executive Officer, who has led the organization since its founding in 2009, will transition from her role as CEO to Board Director. In this new position, she will continue to contribute strategically to the company’s mission and long-term vision at the governance level.

Grant’s leadership over the past 16 years has been transformative. What began as a single-location urgent care addressing a local need has evolved into a high-growth, multi-location healthcare platform recognized for its exceptional patient experience, operational excellence, and unwavering commitment to access and compassion in care.

She has championed innovation, fostered a high-performance culture, and consistently delivered industry-leading performance metrics. Under her guidance, ExperCARE has earned national recognition, achieved top patient satisfaction ratings, and emerged as a model for modern, convenient, patient-first healthcare delivery.

“Founding and leading ExperCARE has been the greatest honor of my professional life,” said Grant. “What started as a vision to bring accessible, high-quality care to our community has grown into a trusted brand serving thousands across two states. I’m incredibly proud of the extraordinary team, the resilient culture, and the values that define who we are. I look forward to continuing to support ExperCARE’s growth and impact in my role as Board Director.”

Grant will remain actively engaged during the leadership transition and throughout the onboarding of a new CEO, who will be formally announced in late April 2025.

Cold vs. Flu – Know the Differences

, ,

It can be tough to determine whether you have a cold or the flu, as they share many symptoms. While we always recommend seeing a provider at ExperCARE for an official diagnosis, some key distinctions might help you understand what you’re dealing with before you come in.

Cold Vs. Flu: Comparing Symptoms

Colds generally cause milder symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing, and congestion. You might also experience a sore throat and cough. 

 

While you can experience all of those symptoms with the flu as well, the flu often brings intense symptoms like:

 

  • High fever
  • Chills
  • Body aches
  • Headaches
  • Fatigue

 

Discerning the difference between a cold and the flu based on symptoms alone can be challenging because of some overlap. A cough and sore throat can occur with the flu, for example.

 

 ExperCARE provides walk-in, on-demand primary care and urgent care, 7 days a week with extended hours, and accepts both self-pay and insurance. 

No appointment is ever needed!

Symptom Onset & Impact

Other differences include how quickly and how often symptoms appear. 

 

Cold symptoms tend to develop gradually, while flu symptoms tend to strike suddenly. One day, you might feel fine, and the next, you’re hit with intense chills, fever, and body aches.

 

Also, colds are more common than the flu. Adults experience an average of 2-3 colds per year, and children have even more. This high prevalence is due to the many different viruses that can cause a cold, making it difficult for our bodies to build up immunity to all of them.

 

While not as frequent as colds, the flu still affects millions of people each year in the US, leading to a significant number of hospitalizations. 

 

The CDC estimates that Americans have experienced 9–41 million illnesses of the flu since 2010. The flu has also been responsible for up to 710,000 hospitalizations and 52,000 deaths annually in that time span.

Treatment Options

Unfortunately, there’s no “cure” for either a cold or the flu. Treatment primarily focuses on relieving symptoms. 

 

Getting plenty of rest, staying hydrated, and using over-the-counter medications for fever, aches, and congestion can help you manage cold symptoms and recover faster.

 

For the flu, the providers at ExperCARE might prescribe antiviral medications to shorten the duration of the flu and reduce the severity of your symptoms. They work best when started within 48 hours of symptom onset.

When to Seek Medical Attention

If you’re unsure whether you have a cold or the flu, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and see the providers at ExperCARE. This is particularly important if your symptoms are severe or if you have any underlying health conditions.

Prevention Strategies

One of the most effective ways to prevent colds and the flu is to practice good hygiene. 

 

Wash your hands frequently, avoid close contact with sick individuals, and disinfect surfaces that are touched often. Getting your annual flu shot can also significantly reduce your risk of getting the flu.

How ExperCARE Solves Your Healthcare Challenges

Navigating healthcare challenges can feel like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded. 

 

Between confusing bills, long wait times, and the struggle to even get an appointment, it’s enough to make anyone want to give up. But what if we told you there’s a better way?

 

At ExperCARE, we’re not just another doctor’s office. We’re committed to providing a refreshingly different experience — and busting a few common healthcare myths along the way. Here’s how we’re changing the game:

Myth #1: All Primary Care Takes Weeks to Schedule.

Calling your doctor’s office, navigating a phone tree, and finally getting an appointment weeks or even months down the line? We’ve all been there.

 

At ExperCARE, we believe that access to care should be easy and convenient. That’s why we offer walk-in, on-demand appointments at all our locations. Whether you need a check-up, a flu shot, treatment for a minor illness, etc., we’re here for you on YOUR schedule.

Myth #2: I Will Always Have to Block Off Hours in My Schedule to See a Provider.

Taking a half-day off work, arranging childcare, and sitting in a crowded waiting room for hours just for one appointment? No thanks!

 

At ExperCARE, we understand that your time is valuable. That’s why we offer extended weekday hours and are open on weekends. No more missing work or school to get the healthcare you need. 

Myth #3: I Can’t Afford to See a Provider.

Hidden fees, surprise bills, and the fear of going into debt just to get the care you need are sad realities for many–but not at ExperCARE.

 

We believe that quality healthcare should be affordable for everyone. We offer affordable care and transparent pricing, and we are in network with most major health insurance carriers. We’ll never charge you for services you don’t need.

Myth #4: All Medical Bills Are Confusing.

Deciphering medical jargon and trying to understand what you’re actually being charged for? It’s enough to make your head spin.

 

At ExperCARE, on the other hand, we believe in simple billing structures. Our team is happy to answer any questions you have and walk you through your bill so you can leave feeling confident and informed.

 

Simply call your closest ExperCARE location today, and a member of our team will be happy to provide you with a cost estimate before your visit. 

Myth #5: I Don’t Need a Wellness Visit if I Feel Fine.

Ignoring your health until something goes wrong is a reactive approach that can lead to bigger problems down the road.

 

At ExperCARE, we believe in preventative care. Our providers take the time to get to know you and your health history. We offer personalized wellness recommendations and screenings to help you stay healthy and prevent future issues. 

More Than Urgent Care, More Than Primary Care—ExperCARE

At ExperCARE, we’re more than just an urgent care clinic. We offer a wide range of services, including:

A Year of Transformation: Highlights from 2024

Wow — what a year!

2024 was a year of growth and transformation for ExperCARE.

Something exciting happened: we launched a revolutionary new approach to healthcare that aims to make high-quality care more affordable and accessible to everyone.

But that’s not all. We expanded our locations. We also lifted our communities in challenging times. 2024 is a year we’ll never forget.

Let’s take a look at the highlights.

Launching a New Model for Healthcare

In August, ExperCARE debuted an innovative new healthcare model at our clinic in Richmond Hill, Georgia.

Our healthcare model offers on-demand primary care and urgent care services under one roof, with the goal of breaking down barriers that separate diagnostic and preventative services.

The ribbon-cutting was attended by U.S. Representative Buddy Carter, Richmond Hill Mayor Russ Carpenter, and so many more members of the community.

By the end of the year, our healthcare model at Richmond Hill expanded to all of our Georgia locations!

Experience the new model for yourself at any Georgia ExperCARE location–coming to Alabama locations in 2025!

Weathering the Storm

Every year brings blessings and challenges, and 2024 was no different.

In August, the Richmond Hill community suffered damage and flooding from Hurricane Debby. Our team got together to provide water, popsicles, biscuits, and kayaks, while coordinating supply deliveries in the aftermath of the storm. 

Our communities were also impacted by Hurricane Helene, which caused widespread damage and flooding. ExperCARE offered extended hours to provide assistance to those affected by the hurricane.

Sweet Home Alabama!

2024 saw the opening of several new ExperCARE clinics in Alabama, and we now serve the communities of Northport, Tuscaloosa, Demopolis, Fayette, Northriver, and Jasper.

We’re so excited to expand our innovative healthcare model to new locations and look forward to playing such a crucial role in the health of these communities in 2025 and beyond.

But Alabama was not the only place we expanded! In April, we opened our 7th Georgia clinic in Rincon.

Leading the Way

We’re so excited to have new healthcare leaders joining the ExperCARE team.

In August, we welcomed Tricia Howard, PA-C, MHS, DFAAPA, as our new Vice President of Advanced Practice Services. Howard brings 27 years of experience as a Physician Associate with a dynamic background in healthcare education and administration.

In October, we welcomed Dr. Keith Seibert as our Director of Pediatrics and Preventative Health. Dr. Seibert has been serving the patients and families of Richmond Hill for over two decades and played an integral role in rolling out our new healthcare model.

With these industry leaders on our team, we look forward to expanding our reach in 2025.

The Votes Are In!

ExperCARE clinics won major awards in 2024!

Our clinic in Pooler, GA, won several awards from Pooler Magazine:

  • Best Urgent Care in Pooler, GA
  • Beat Healthcare Facility
  • Best Female Business Owner

That’s not all! Our clinic in Savannah, GA, also won awards in Savannah Magazine:

  • Best Urgent Care in Savannah, GA
  • Best Doctor of Occupational Medicine (Dr. J. David Carson)
  • Best Emergency Medical Doctor (Dr. Robert A. Mazur)
  • Best Functional Medicine Specialist (Dr. Keith Seibert)

These awards are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire staff, and we’re lucky to serve such wonderful communities that motivate us every day.

We’re Excited to Serve You in 2025!

2024 was a transformative year for ExperCARE, and we know that our new healthcare model and new locations will likewise transform our communities in 2025.

Wishing you the happiest of holidays and a splendid New Year.

10 Tips for Managing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)

,

Winter can be a challenging time for many, especially those who experience Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). This condition can lead to feelings of sadness, fatigue, and a loss of interest in activities. If you’re looking for ways to manage SAD and brighten your winter, check out these 10 essential tips for managing seasonal affective disorder and improving your overall well-being during the colder months.

 

 ExperCARE provides walk-in, on-demand primary care and urgent care, 7 days a week with extended hours, and accepts both self-pay and insurance. 

No appointment is ever needed!

Why Are We SAD in Winter?

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a type of depression that occurs seasonally, primarily during the fall and winter months. This condition is characterized by sadness, fatigue, and a loss of interest in activities.

Here’s why we get SAD in the winter:

  • Reduced Sunlight: There’s less sunlight in the fall and winter. This can disrupt our body’s internal clock, leading to imbalances in hormones like melatonin and serotonin. Decreased serotonin levels can contribute to sadness and depression. Sunlight is also essential in giving us vitamin D, which plays a crucial role in mood regulation; reduced sunlight exposure can lead to vitamin D deficiency, worsening symptoms of SAD.
  • Circadian Rhythm Changes: The shorter days and longer nights can disrupt our sleep-wake cycle, leading to difficulty falling asleep and waking up. This may cause you to have fluctuating moods or fatigue.
  • Social Isolation & Anxiety: There are plenty of social gatherings in the fall and winter. While these are supposed to fill you with joy, they can sometimes make you feel lonely or isolated.

What can you do to manage seasonal affective disorder so it doesn’t put a damper on your season?

Tips for Managing Seasonal Affective Disorder

Here are 10 ways you can manage seasonal affective disorder:

  1. See a healthcare provider
  2. Eat healthy(ish)
  3. Exercise frequently
  4. Get fresh air
  5. Get plenty of sleep
  6. Spend time with loved ones
  7. Practice stress management
  8. Light up your life
  9. Limit screen time
  10. Practice mindfulness and gratitude

 

1. See a Healthcare Provider

Come and visit us at ExperCARE if you’re struggling with SAD. Here’s how we can help:

  • Wellness Visit: A routine wellness check-up with your primary care physician can help identify and address underlying health conditions that may contribute to SAD symptoms, such as thyroid disorders or vitamin deficiencies. Wellness visits at ExperCARE are completely covered by in-network insurance providers. Walk in or book ahead today!
  • Therapy: Therapy can be a valuable tool in managing SAD. A therapist can provide strategies for coping with stress, anxiety, and negative thoughts.
  • Flu Shots: While not directly related to SAD, getting a flu shot can help prevent illness, which can exacerbate symptoms of depression and fatigue.

2. Eat Healthy(ish)

You may want to indulge in rich foods and festive drinks during the holidays. While it’s okay to enjoy these treats in moderation, maintaining a balanced diet is crucial for managing SAD.

Eating a healthy diet can boost your mood and energy levels. Prioritize whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. These nutrient-rich foods can help regulate your mood and improve your overall well-being.

Remember, it’s about balance. Enjoy the holiday festivities without completely abandoning your healthy eating habits.

3. Exercise Frequently

It’s easy to let your exercise routine slip during the winter months. However, regular physical activity is essential for managing SAD. Exercise can boost your mood, reduce stress, and improve sleep quality.

Even short bursts of exercise can make a difference. Try incorporating activities like brisk walking, yoga, or indoor cycling into your daily routine.

4. Get Fresh Air

Winter’s shorter days and colder temperatures can tempt us to hibernate indoors. However, spending time outdoors, even on cloudy days, can be beneficial for your mental health.

Sunlight exposure helps regulate your body’s internal clock and boost vitamin D production. So, bundle up and take a walk, go for a hike, or simply sit outside and enjoy the fresh air.

5. Get Plenty of Sleep

The shorter days of winter can disrupt our sleep-wake cycle, leading to sleep disturbances. To ensure you’re getting enough quality sleep, try to establish a consistent sleep schedule — go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.

If you’re having difficulty sleeping, try engaging in calm activities before bed, such as reading a book or taking a warm bath.

By prioritizing sleep, you can improve your mood and energy levels.

6. Spend Time with Loved Ones

Social connection is crucial for mental well-being, especially during the darker winter months. Spending time with loved ones can help alleviate feelings of loneliness and isolation.

Engaging in social activities, such as having dinner with friends, attending holiday gatherings, or simply chatting with a loved one, can boost your mood and reduce stress.

7. Practice Stress Management

The holiday season can be a stressful time, filled with parties, gift-giving, and family gatherings. This added stress can exacerbate symptoms of SAD.

To manage stress effectively, consider these techniques:

  • Mindfulness and Meditation: These practices can help calm the mind and reduce anxiety.
  • Deep Breathing Exercises: Taking slow, deep breaths can help lower stress levels.
  • Time Management: Prioritize tasks and avoid overcommitting yourself.
  • Seek Support: Talk to friends, family, or a therapist about your feelings.

By incorporating these stress management techniques into your daily routine, you can better cope with SAD and improve your overall well-being.

8. Light Up Your Life

As mentioned earlier, reduced sunlight exposure is a major contributor to SAD. To combat this, consider the following strategies:

  • Light Therapy: Using a light therapy box can mimic natural sunlight and help regulate your body’s internal clock.
  • Vitamin D Supplementation: Consult with your healthcare provider to determine if vitamin D supplements are right for you.
  • Brighten Up Your Home: Use brighter light bulbs and open curtains to maximize natural light exposure.
  • Spend Time Outdoors: Even on cloudy days, spending time outdoors can help improve your mood.

By incorporating these strategies into your daily routine, you can alleviate the symptoms of SAD and enjoy a brighter winter season.

9. Limit Screen Time

Excessive screen time can disrupt your sleep patterns and contribute to feelings of isolation. To mitigate these effects, consider limiting your screen time, especially in the evenings.

Instead of scrolling through social media or watching TV, try engaging in relaxing activities like reading a book, taking a warm bath, or practicing mindfulness.

10. Practice Mindfulness and Gratitude

The winter months are a time for reflection and self-assessment, especially around the new year. It’s easy to focus on negative thoughts and feelings of inadequacy.

Practicing mindfulness and gratitude can help shift your perspective and improve your overall well-being. Here are a few tips:

  • Mindfulness Meditation: Focus on your breath and present moment experiences.
  • Gratitude Journaling: Write down things you’re grateful for each day.
  • Positive Affirmations: Repeat positive statements to yourself.

By incorporating these practices into your daily routine, you can cultivate a more positive mindset and reduce the impact of SAD.

What To Expect During a Wellness Visit

A wellness visit is a routine checkup with a healthcare provider to assess your overall health, through screenings, lab tests, and conversations with a doctor. You’ll develop a personalized health plan that can help you identify and stay ahead of health risks.

Let’s walk you through a typical wellness visit so you know what to expect.

What is a Wellness Visit?

A wellness visit is a proactive approach to healthcare designed to assess your overall health and identify potential health risks. During this appointment, your healthcare provider at ExperCARE will review your medical history, conduct a physical exam, and discuss your lifestyle habits. They may also order necessary lab tests or screenings to monitor your health. The goal of a wellness visit is to promote preventive care and develop a personalized plan to improve your overall well-being.

Why Are Wellness Visits Important?

Wellness visits allow your healthcare provider at ExperCARE to monitor your vital signs, assess your risk factors, and identify potential health concerns early on. That’s not to say that every wellness visit results in a diagnosis, but if you are at risk of developing an illness, then early detection can help you prevent it from worsening or significantly improve your treatment outcome.

Additionally, wellness visits give you an opportunity to discuss how you can make changes to your lifestyle to stay in better health. Your provider can offer personalized advice and support to help you make informed choices and achieve your health goals.

What to Expect During a Wellness Visit

No matter which clinic you go to, a wellness visit at ExperCARE will generally follow the same procedure. 

Before you visit, make sure you have the following items:

  • Insurance Information: When you pay for your wellness visit with insurance at ExperCARE, you do NOT have to pay a co-pay! Wellness visits are completely covered by insurance at all ExperCARE locations. 
  • List of Medications: Including over-the-counter medications and supplements.
  • List of Questions: Write down any questions or concerns you have for your provider.

Now, you’re ready to head to the clinic!

A wellness visit usually consists of 5 steps:

  1. Medical History Review: When you check into the clinic, you’ll be given a questionnaire about your medical history, including past illnesses, surgeries, allergies, and medications.
  2. Physical Exam: The clinic will measure your blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature to gauge your health. The information is recorded so your doctor can track changes over time.
  3. Lab Tests: Depending on your age, gender, and risk factors, you may need blood tests to check for cholesterol levels, blood sugar, thyroid function, and other conditions.
  4. Lifestyle Counseling: A doctor will discuss your lifestyle, helping you set health goals that can range from diet and exercise to stress management.
  5. Immunizations: Your provider will review your immunization records and administer any necessary vaccines if you choose.

Scheduling a Wellness Visit

Most healthcare providers require an appointment for a wellness visit, and it’s not uncommon to wait two weeks or longer to get an appointment. You may also have to squeeze your visit into operating hours that don’t fit your schedule very well — sometimes right in the middle of your work day.

ExperCARE, which has several locations in and around Savannah, Georgia, is a different kind of clinic. 

We’re open 7 days a week, with extended hours, and we offer walk-in wellness visits that require no appointment! We make it so much easier for you to get the healthcare services you need, even when you have a busy schedule.

 

“ExperCARE offers on-demand healthcare that’s revolutionizing the industry. Our mission is to make healthcare more accessible by providing walk-in treatment, whether you’re coming in for a wellness visit or urgent care. If you have in-network insurance, then your wellness visit is free of charge — no co-pays. But if you prefer to self-pay, you can call us ahead of time for transparent pricing.”

-Catherine Grant, Founder and CEO, ExperCARE

Primary Care Insurance vs. Urgent Care: What’s the Difference in Cost?

, , , ,

Urgent care is the place to go if you’re dealing with symptoms that cannot wait a week or two for the next available appointment with your doctor. If you’re worried about the cost of urgent care, we created this brief guide that will explain the difference between primary care insurance vs. urgent care insurance costs.

ExperCARE provides walk-in, on-demand primary care and urgent care, 7 days a week with extended hours, and accepts both self-pay and insurance. 

No appointment is ever needed!

Visit one of our locations in the greater areas of Savannah, GA, or Tuscaloosa, AL.

Can I Use My Primary Care Insurance at Urgent Care?

Absolutely! Most health insurance policies will cover both primary care and urgent care visits as long as the urgent care center is in your plan’s provider network. 

Urgent Care vs. Primary Care Cost

Insurance policies usually require co-pays for both urgent care and primary care.

If you’ve purchased health insurance for the first time (congrats!) then you might not be familiar with co-pays. A co-pay means that you’ll pay a predetermined fee every time you visit primary care or urgent care, and your insurance coverage will pay for the rest of your costs.

Co-pays are more expensive for urgent care than for primary care.

  • Average Co-Pay for Primary Care: $25
  • Average Co-Pay for Urgent Care: $75

Affordable Urgent Care and Primary Care with ExperCARE

ExperCARE has developed a brand-new healthcare model that makes urgent care visits so much more affordable, whether you have insurance or want to pay out-of-pocket.

 

“Unfortunately, there are too many people dealing with illness or injuries that won’t visit an urgent care clinic because they’re worried about getting saddled with high medical bills. At ExperCARE, we believe that feeling better shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg. We have many affordable payment options, and your costs will always be transparent.”

-Catherine Grant; Founder and CEO, ExperCARE

 

Our ExperCARE clinics in the greater Savannah, GA, area offer three affordable ways to pay for treatment, depending on your insurance situation.

1. Pay with In-Network Insurance

If you have insurance coverage with one of our in-network providers, then you only need to pay a primary co-pay — not an urgent care co-pay!

The vast majority of walk-in clinics offer only urgent care or specialty treatment.

ExperCARE is unique because we also offer primary care services — and we’re happy to provide you with urgent care treatment at a primary care rate!

2. No Co-Pays for Wellness Checks

If you have in-network insurance, you will have no co-pay at all if your visit qualifies as a wellness check (basically a “checkup” with a primary care doctor).

Come in for a wellness check if you’re feeling a bit off, but aren’t sure why you’re feeling that way. Or, if you want to get a status update on your health to get ahead of any health risks you may have (we’re a big believer in preventative care).

3. Pay Without Insurance

You’re welcome to visit ExperCARE even if you have out-of-network insurance or prefer to pay without insurance.

We offer affordable, transparent, flat self-pay rates for your urgent care visit.

All you have to do is call the clinic ahead of time and explain why you need to be seen. Our ExperTEAM will help you determine the cost ahead of time.

There are no surprise fees; transparent rates are part of our mission to make healthcare more accessible to everyone.

Do I Need a Primary Care Physician?

, ,

Have you ever asked yourself, Do I need a primary care physician?

You’re not alone. In fact, about one-third of Americans don’t receive primary healthcare services. Why is that?

  • They’re worried about the expense.
  • They don’t know where to go or who to see.
  • They’ve had poor experiences with past providers.
  • They’re frustrated by long wait times for appointments.

At ExperCARE, we’re changing the way people think about primary care. Our on-demand primary care model eliminates many of these barriers, providing you with accessible, high-quality healthcare when and where you need it—no appointment required.

Here’s why having a primary care provider is so important:

  • Personalized, Continuous Care: Providers who understand your health history can deliver better, more effective care.
  • Chronic Condition Management: Ongoing care helps you manage chronic conditions and stay healthier overall.
  • Specialist Referrals: Primary care acts as a gateway to specialists when needed, ensuring you receive the right care.

Everyone deserves access to primary care. ExperCARE provides walk-in, on-demand primary care with extended hours, 7 days a week, and accepts both self-pay and insurance. No appointment is ever needed!

When Should I Get A Breast Cancer Screening?

, , , ,

Typically, women between the ages of 40-74 should have a breast cancer screening every 2 years. That being said, a woman with a relative who was diagnosed at or before age 45 may wish to consider, in consultation with her doctor, initiating screening 5-8 years earlier than their relative’s diagnosis age. Screenings may include mammograms, MRIs, or clinical breast exams.

While screenings do not prevent breast cancer, they can help detect cancer at earlier stages, which would give you better odds of tackling and defeating the disease. In this blog, we’ll share a few insights about breast cancer screenings that are important for women to know.

Speak with your personal care provider (PCP) about your breast cancer risks and screening options. If you don’t have a PCP, or if you’re looking for on-demand care, contact or visit ExperCARE. 

We provide walk-in primary care services 7 days a week, with extended hours. No appointment is ever needed! Insurance and self-pay are both accepted. 

What is a Breast Cancer Screening? 

A breast cancer screening is a preventive healthcare measure designed to detect early signs of breast cancer. It typically involves a physical examination of your breasts by a healthcare provider, often accompanied by imaging tests such as mammograms or ultrasounds. These screenings are crucial for early detection because they help identify potential abnormalities in the breast tissue that might be symptomatic of cancer.

Breast cancer screenings are typically performed by gynecologists, family physicians, or specialized breast surgeons. To schedule a screening, women can contact their healthcare provider’s office and request an appointment. Most insurance plans cover breast cancer screenings, so it’s important to check with your provider to understand your specific coverage.

Types of Breast Cancer Screenings

There are several types of breast cancer screenings available, each with its own advantages and limitations.

  • Mammograms are the most common type of breast cancer screening and use X-rays to create images of the breast tissue. Mammograms are typically recommended for women over the age of 40 but may be recommended earlier for women at higher risk.
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is another type of breast cancer screening. MRIs use magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the breast tissue. They’re often used in conjunction with mammograms for women at very high risk of breast cancer, such as those with a strong family history or genetic mutations.
  • Clinical Breast Exams are physical examinations of the breasts performed by a healthcare provider. During a clinical breast exam, the provider will feel the breasts for any lumps, bumps, or other abnormalities.

In addition to regular screenings, it’s essential for women to look out for and recognize unusual changes in the look and feel of their breasts. If you notice any unusual symptoms, such as lumps, pain, or changes in breast size or shape, it’s important to see your healthcare provider for evaluation.

Why Are Breast Cancer Screenings Important?

Breast cancer screenings are crucial for early detection of cancer and better outcomes. By identifying abnormalities in the breast tissue at an early stage, screenings can help detect cancer before it spreads to other parts of the body. Early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and improves the overall prognosis.

Regular screenings empower women to take proactive steps in managing their breast health and reduce their risk of breast cancer-related complications.

When Should I Get a Breast Cancer Screening?

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that women who are 40 to 74 years old should get a breast cancer screening every two years. However, it’s important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate screening schedule for you, as individual risk factors may vary.

If you notice any symptoms of breast cancer, such as a lump, thickening, or swelling in the breast, dimpling or skin changes, pain or tenderness in the breast, or a nipple discharge, it’s crucial to see your doctor immediately. Early detection is key to successful treatment, so don’t hesitate to seek medical attention if you have any concerns.
