Recognition

Lafayette Regional Health Center is accredited by the Commission on Cancer® as a Hospital Associate Cancer Program for our availability of a full range of medical services along with a multidisciplinary team approach to patient care.

We are also recognized by the American College of Radiology (ACR) for achieving the highest level of image quality and patient safety in performing ultrasounds and mammograms.

Breast cancer screenings

Our hospital has been recognized by the American College of Radiology (ACR) for achieving the highest level of image quality and patient safety in ultrasound imaging and mammography. Our women's care program offers digital mammograms, 3D mammograms and breast ultrasounds to screen patients for breast cancer. We value our patient's comfort throughout the process, which is why we use soft screening pads during breast imaging exams.

If a mass or other abnormality is found during imaging, we perform a biopsy to determine if cancer is present or not. If a breast cancer diagnosis is made, our patients have access to extensive chemotherapy treatments, infusion services and breast surgical procedures.
