Haywood Regional Medical Center announced the launch of a convenient walk-in mammography clinic at the HRMC Breast Center, located on the second floor of the Outpatient Care Center at 581 Leroy George Drive in Clyde. 

This new service is available to women who have not had a mammography exam in the past year and is for screening mammograms only. Women with a new lump, discharge or other breast issues are advised to schedule an appointment with their healthcare provider and inquire about a referral for a diagnostic mammogram.

The walk-in mammography clinic takes place every Friday from 9-11 a.m. No appointment is necessary. To be seen at the walk-in clinic, patients with insurance should bring their current insurance information for billing purposes. For those without insurance, resources and information will be provided during walk-in hours.

The HRMC Breast Center is equipped with advanced services such as contrast-enhanced mammography, nurse navigation, collaborative local cancer care and surgical breast services. These offerings ensure that local women can access a complete range of breast health services in their home community.
