St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands — The Governor Juan F. Luis Hospital and Medical Center (JFL) is proud to announce the resumption of mammography services, now operating inside the Virgin Islands Cardiac Center (VICC). This milestone comes as JFL celebrates Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October, a timely reminder of the importance of early detection and proactive care.
The program has achieved full certification from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and re-accreditation from the American College of Radiology (ACR), making it the only hospital-based mammography program in the U.S. Virgin Islands to hold both designations. These designations ensure that patients receive safe, high-quality imaging services close to home.
“This achievement represents JFL’s ongoing commitment to restoring and enhancing essential services for our community,” said Adeline Williams-Connor, COO of JFL. “As we observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we encourage every woman to prioritize her health. Early detection saves lives.”
In line with its annual awareness campaign, “Ladies, Check Yourself!”, JFL reminds women across the territory to schedule their mammograms and take charge of their breast health. Mammograms remain one of the most effective tools for early detection of breast cancer, improving treatment outcomes and saving lives.
Appointments are now available. To schedule a mammogram, please call 340-772-7343 extension 5282/5283. Don’t wait, “Ladies, check yourself!” and schedule your screening today.
