Johns Creek – Emory Johns Creek Hospital will host its third annual Ladies Night Out in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and to celebrate its new Breast Center on Thursday, Oct. 22 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Ladies Night Out will be held at the hospital and is open to the community. The event will include free glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure and bone density screenings, as well as consultations with doctors from a wide variety of specialties.
Physicians from the Breast Center, including mammogram and imaging specialists, and breast surgeons and oncologists will be on hand to talk to women about breast health and the range of technology and treatment options now available to them. Emory Johns Creek Hospital now offers its patients the latest technology in breast biopsy techniques, through MR guided biopsy. Performing a breast biopsy in real-time, guided by MR (magnetic resonance) imaging is an important advance in the diagnosis of breast cancer.
In addition to the Breast Center physicians, there will be cardiologists, orthopaedic surgeons, podiatrists, ophthalmologists and surgeons available for women to talk to about a wide range of health related issues.
"We look forward to this event every year. It gives us a great opportunity to meet women in the community and talk with them one-on-one," said Beverly Miller, director of community Relations for the Hospital.
Emory Johns Creek Hospital boasts a staff of more than 600 physicians in 43 specialties and provides a full range of services to area patients, including emergency, labor and delivery, the area's only Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, advanced surgery and diagnostics, bariatrics, sleep studies and the Heart and Vascular Institute.
