Northfield Hospital’s Breast Care Center is offering a “mini-spa experience” with every mammogram scheduled on10 dedicated days in October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Schedule your mammogram October 3 & 4, 11 & 12, 18–20, or 26–28 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and you will be treated to a mini-massage, complimentary specialty beverages and treats, and a parting gift. Evening appointments are available on Thursday, Oct. 27, but the massage will not be available.
Sandy Mulford, director of Diagnostic Imaging at Northfield Hospital, said the “spa event” is an effort to encourage women to have an annual exam. Early detection can save lives and increase treatment options, she said.
The Breast Care Center features a direct-digital mammogram unit with a mammo pad for extra comfort. The direct digital system provides a clearer image and more detail. This leads to more accurate diagnoses and the ability to detect cancers at an earlier stage.
“The goal of screening exams is to find cancer before symptoms are expressed,” Mulford said. “Early detection saves many thousands of lives each year. Following the American Cancer Society’s guidelines for screenings improves the chances that breast cancer can be diagnosed at an early stage and treated successfully.”
The American Cancer Society recommends annual screening beginning at age 40, or earlier for women with certain risk factors. More information on screening guidelines is available here.
To make your “spa event” mammogram appointment, call the Breast Care Center at 507-646-1143.

Gerard O’Halloran, MD, is now providing nonsurgical cosmetic treatments at FamilyHealth Medical Clinic in Lakeville.
The clinic treatments include Botox and dermal filler injections. Dr. O’Halloran, an otolaryngology specialist with more than 20 years of experience, also performs rhinoplasty at Northfield Hospital in Northfield.
Botox and dermal filler injections are noninvasive methods of softening facial creases and wrinkles and of restoring volume to the shallow contours of the face. Most patients require a Botox treatment about twice a year after the initial treatment. Dermal filler treatments are usually performed about once a year. Many patients prefer these approaches to a more complex surgical restoration, Dr. O’Halloran said.
Both the initial consultation and treatments are an out-of-pocket expense not covered by insurance. Rhinoplasty procedures to correct damage done by injury are covered by insurance, but elective rhinoplasty for cosmetic reasons is not covered.
Dr. O’Halloran sees both adults and children at FamilyHealth Medical Clinic for a wide variety of issues, ranging from nose and sinus problems and recurrent ear infections to sleep-related breathing problems including sleep apnea and snoring. He specializes in chronic sinus problems and “sinus” headaches.
A graduate of Mayo Medical School and Mayo Clinic ENT residency, Dr. O’Halloran is certified by the American Academy of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery. He is also trained in noninvasive facial rejuvenation and minimally invasive neck liposuction.
On July 20, the Lonsdale Aces will play the Northfield Knights at Trenda Memorial Park in Lonsdale. Be part of the ultimate squeeze play: Bring an accordion or concertina and get in free! The Accordion Choir is up to bat for the seventh-inning stretch.
During the game, staff from FamilyHealth Medical Clinic will be on hand to take blood pressures and answer questions about the clinic. Stay tuned for more details about this fun event.
We are pleased to introduce the new FamilyHealth Medical Clinic website.
The new site has been designed to better serve our online visitors. If you’re looking for a new medical provider in a particular area of practice or location, we’ve simplified that process with our “Find a Provider” link. New links also make it easier to locate patient forms, educational brochures and health information websites.
The website now presents clinic and health news in a more versatile way and helps users stay connected to FamilyHealth through our monthly e-newsletter and social media. The quarterly FamilyHealth magazine is also presented in a more user-friendly way: instead of downloading PDFs, the magazine can be read by “flipping” through the pages and easily zooming in and out on text and images as the reader chooses.
We hope you’ll find the redesigned website useful, well organized and attractive. If you have comments about the site that you’d like to share with us, please email us at webmaster@northfieldhospital.org.
