From routine screenings to sophisticated diagnostic instrumentation, we are here with a comprehensive program of education, diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Amy Krie is a board certified Oncologist with Hegg Memorial specializing in the prevention, detection and treatment of breast cancer.

Mammography

In addition to yearly exams by a physician, women should follow the recommended guidelines for regular mammograms. Hegg Memorial Health Center Avera uses some of the latest equipment and is staffed by qualified female radiologic technologists. Your mammogram will be interpreted by a board-certified radiologist who will send a report to your physician.

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a disease that results in a loss of bone density, which can make bones more susceptible to breaking. Although osteoporosis can affect any bone, fractures occur most commonly in the spine, hip or wrist. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, one out of every two women will sustain a fracture related to osteoporosis. Hegg Memorial offers programs that address prevention and diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis, including bone density.
