Breast Health & Osteoporosis

Betty Wallace Women's Health Centre

Located at Queensway Health Centre, the Betty Wallace Women's Health Centre specializes in screening and early intervention for breast disease or osteoporosis.

The Centre brings together a team of specialists in one convenient, welcoming location, where most screening and initial procedures can be completed on-site. ​

The Women's Health Centre is an Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP) certified affiliate site and offers:

• Mammography for women over the age of 50 who have no previous history of breast cancer (self-referral available)
• Bone densitometry for osteoporosis screening
• Breast ultrasound and surgical consultations
• Stereotactic breast biopsies performed on-site by a radiologist with minimal discomfort

The Women's Health Centre is designed with its own private entrance, lots of natural light, wood, and tones of coral, cream and lavender, creating a spa-like setting for screening and treatment. Respecting the needs of a diverse female population, the Centre offers women two-piece gowns with the option of wearing a mid-length or a full-length wrap-around skirt. The Centre is also wheelchair accessible.

The Betty Wallace Women's Health Centre is named in memory of Betty Wallace, a community resident who lost her courageous battle with breast cancer in 1993.
