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.

WellSpan Thoracic Surgery in Ephrata offers comprehensive diagnostic and surgical treatment services to patients with diseases of the lungs and esophagus. These conditions include benign esophageal diseases, emphysema, esophageal cancer, lung cancer and lung masses and nodules.

As part of our ongoing goal to make WellSpan services easier to access and use, we will coordinate your care through MyWellSpan, our secure online tool. Use MyWellSpan to manage your appointments, review lab and imaging study results, communicate with your doctor, access your confidential medical records and more. We invite you to learn more about MyWellSpan.

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.

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.
