Methodist Hospitals’ Breast Program
provides Northwest Indiana’s most
complete menu of state-of-the-art
prevention, detection, and
treatment services.
Our 3D clarity gives you the
most accurate results available
today...even better than digital
mammograms.
These vastly
improved, super sharp
mammogram images,
available only at
Methodist Hospitals,
make it easier for
our radiologists to
detect abnormalities,
including small tumors hidden in dense tissue.
That means you’re less likely to endure
a stressful false positive, or return for
additional tests.
With this new technology, Methodist
Hospitals can now diagnose breast cancer at
even earlier, more curable stages.
No physician referral is needed for a routine
screening mammogram. Call 219-981-5440.
To arrange a diagnostic mammogram, talk to
your doctor.
Meet Dr. Susan Schneider,
Specialist in
Compassionate Care
As a specialist in postmastectomy
breast
reconstruction, Susan
Schneider, MD, knows
that today’s advances
in treatments and
reconstructive surgery
offer women a wider
range of choices than
in the past.
The benefits of having reconstructive
surgery go beyond the cosmetic. Most
patients who have reconstructive surgery
are less likely to develop post-surgical
depression, and maintain more positive
attitudes that contribute to faster healing.
Dr. Schneider is a board certified plastic
and reconstructive surgeon, a member of
the American Society of Plastic Surgery and
a fellow of the American Board of Surgery.
Methodist is designated
a Breast Imaging Center of
Excellence by the American
College of Radiology
