1 pound firm tofu
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)

The St. Vincent Indianapolis Mobile Screening Program is pleased to partner with BUTLER UNIVERSITY to offer you on-site screening mammograms on the following dates & times:

MONDAY NOVEMBER 4 & TUESDAY NOVEMBER 5 from 8 am – 2 pm

We now offer Digital Tomosynthesis or 3-D mammograms on the mobile unit as part of our standard of care. Digital Tomosynthesis is an advanced form of mammography that creates a 3-dimensional picture or a high resolution mammographic image of your breast tissue. Most health insurance providers cover all costs associated with 3D mammograms. Please consult with your health insurance provider to  determine if the cost for the 3D – Digital Tomosynthesis is fully covered. You may request a 2D-mammogram if the costs are not covered by your health insurance provider.

 Participation Information:

  • Please review this information letter (below) and the screening guidelines to determine if you are eligible to participate.
  • If you are eligible, please call the St. Vincent Breast Center at (317) 338-9595 to schedule your appointment. When calling, please inform the operator that you are calling from BUTLER UNIVERSITY to schedule an appointment on the mobile unit on the specified date and time.
  • Registration deadline is one week prior to our scheduled visit.

 Appointment Information:

  • Screening appointments typically last for 20 minutes. It’s important for you to be on time for your appointment. If you are 10 or more minutes late, your appointment will be cancelled.
  • You must bring your health insurance card(s) and driver’s license or photo ID with you to your mammogram appointment. If your health insurance information is electronic, please bring a paper copy of your information with you to your appointment.
  • Please wear a two-piece outfit.
  • If you are wearing deodorant at the time of your appointment, you will be asked to wipe it off. Deodorant distorts the images/x-rays. Fresh deodorant will be provided.

St. Vincent is one of the pioneers when it comes to breast health. Each year more than 4,000 women receive their screening mammograms through the mobile mammography unit. We believe that early detection saves lives and is the strongest weapon in fighting cancer. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you!

Sincerely,

First Aid Steps

Image result for first aid administration

1. Before administering care to an ill or injured person, check the scene and the person. Size up the scene and form an initial impression.

Pause and looks at the scene and the person before responding. Answer the following questions:

– Is the scene safe to enter?

– What happened?

– How many people are involved?

– What is my initial impression about the nature of the person’s illness or injury? Does the person have any life-threatening conditions, such as severe, life-threatening bleeding?

– Is anyone else available to help?


2.  If the Person is awake and Responsive and there is no severe life-threatening bleeding:

– Obtain consent: Tell the person your name, describes type and level of training, states what you thinks is wrong and what you plans to do, and asks permission to provide care.

– Tell a bystander to get the AED and first aid kit: Point to a bystander and speak out loud.

– Use appropriate PPE: Put on gloves, if available.

– Interview the person: Uses SAMPLE questions to gather more information about signs and symptoms, allergies, medications, pertinent medical history, last food or drink and events leading up to the incident.

– Conduct a head-to-toe check: Check head and neck, shoulders, chest and abdomen, hips, legs and feet, arms and hands for signs of injury.

– Provide care consistent with knowledge and training according to the conditions you find.


3. If the Person Appears Unresponsive:

Shout to get the person’s attention, using the person’s name if it is known. If there is no response, tap the person’s shoulder (if the person is an adult or child) or the bottom of the person’s foot (if the person is an infant) and shout again, while checking for normal breathing. Check for Responsiveness and breathing for no more than 5-10 seconds.


4. If the person is breathing:

– Send someone to call 911 or the designated emergency number and obtain an AED and first aid kit.

– Proceed with gathering information from bystanders using the SAMPLE questions 

– Conduct a head-to-toe check.

– Roll the person onto his or her side into a recovery position if there are no obvious signs of injury.


5. If the person is NOT breathing:

– Send someone to call 911 or the designated emergency number and obtain an AED and first aid kit.

– Ensure that the person is face-up on a firm, flat surface such as the floor or ground.

– Begin CPR (starting with compressions) or use an AED if one is immediately available, if you are trained in giving CPR and using an AED.

– Continue administering CPR until the person exhibits signs of life, such as breathing, an AED becomes available, or EMS or trained medical responders arrive on scene.

Note: End CPR if the scene becomes unsafe or you cannot continue due to exhaustion.
