How is the number of patients waiting calculated?

The number of patients waiting represents patients that have checked in at the urgent care facility, but have not yet seen a provider. It is both patients in the waiting area and patients in a treatment room that have not yet started their visit.

Values can be influenced by many factors and should be considered estimates only.

Emergency Departments are experiencing a high volume of patients, resulting in wait times that may be longer than usual.

For conditions that are not life-threatening, please consider using WellSpan Virtual On-Demand Care, which provides real-time access to a board-certified doctor 24/7.

You have indicated that you have symptoms that may require you to have a diagnostic mammogram rather than just a screening. Please contact your physician's office to discuss next steps. Learn more about our Mammography Services.

Do you need assistance walking, sitting, or standing?

Yes No

The COVID-19 vaccine can cause some temporary inflammation of lymph nodes, which may show up on your mammogram.

These nodes could result in an unnecessary (false positive) finding. For that reason, we recommend you avoid having your screening mammogram any time from 1 day prior to your first vaccination to 4 weeks past your second vaccination.
