Bone Densitometry

Note: Bone Densitometry Screenings are also available through our Radiology Department.

We’re Taking Healthcare on the Road! Who says house calls are a thing of the past? Baxter Regional Medical Center’s Mobile Mammography/Wellness Unit (MMU) takes mammography and bone densitometry on the road to our 14-county service area in north Arkansas and southern Missouri. The unit is a large vehicle, similar to an RV, designed to house a mobile mammography machine and bone densitometry equipment.

The unit is composed of two sections: a waiting room/wellness screening area and a private room for mammograms.

Hosting the MMU

The MMU enables Baxter Regional to provide an alternative screening method to residents of the Twin Lakes area and to increase the awareness and utilization of early-detection screenings for breast cancer and other major health risks, such as osteoporosis.

Facilities interested in hosting the MMU must:

• Provide their own personnel to schedule patients. A patient list must be faxed to BRMC three days prior to the scheduled visit.
• Provide an adequate, level space to park the MMU.
• Provide adequate parking for patients.
• Provide restroom facilities for patients and MMU staff.
• Provide detailed directions to the facility, including where to park the MMU.
