Wednesday, June 12, 2013 San Juan Regional Medical Center Now Offers Digital Mammography and SensorySuite, Invites Public to Open House and Ribbon Cutting June 19

San Juan Regional Medical Center now offers digital mammography, which provides even greater image clarity that can aid in more accurate diagnosis. This newly-acquired digital technology is coupled with GE Healthcare’s SensorySuite to create a pleasant sensory experience, offering patients a unique and personal way to get a mammogram. 


The public is invited to attend an open house to excite their senses and view this technology on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at San Juan Regional Medical Center’s Outpatient Diagnostic Center (2300 East 30th Street, Building C in Farmington.) Brief remarks and a ribbon cutting will be followed by tours of the SensorySuite and refreshments. Participants have the opportunity to schedule a mammogram at the end of the tour, and will receive a fresh, light pink garden rose.


SensorySuite technology allows patients to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of their favorite getaway, while they get their digital mammogram. They can choose from a fragrant garden, cascading waterfall, or relaxing beach. Each selection engages the senses with a scented band and the sights and sounds of the chosen scene via flat screens during the exam.


The SensorySuite was put in place to personalize each patient’s experience and to provide a whole new way to make the exam as comfortable as possible. San Juan Regional Medical Center’s goal is for this technology is to make getting a mammogram less stressful and, as a result, encourage more women to get their annual exams.


Those interested in scheduling an appointment for their digital mammogram with SensorySuite can call 505.609.6228. More information can also be found at sanjuanregional.com.
