Harrisonburg, VA: (RocktownNow) – Sentara R-M-H’s Funkhouser Women’s Center unveiled a new mammogram machine Wednesday that health officials say will help them save more lives here in the Valley.
The new device brings the hospital’s total number of mammography machines to four. Tami Eppard, Sentara R-M-H’s mammography manager, says more machines on site means faster access for patients. Officials said that last year alone, Funkhouser staff performed nearly 15-thousand mammographic procedures with just three machines, resulting in 72 diagnosed cases of breast cancer.
