“There have been so many advances,” said Colleen a certified mammography technologist. “I want women to know about their options and how they can take care of themselves.”

Colleen said she likes working at ella health not only because of the advanced technology but also because of the spa-like ambiance. It’s a comfortable, inviting center that makes women feel more at ease.

Women are impressed with the soft cloth robes and the warm, private dressing rooms. They are often surprised to find that the exam is more comfortable than they expected. At ella health, technologists use a special pad on the machine.
