Ella Health provides 3D mammograms for annual breast cancer screening in centers that are more like spas than health care facilities. We have built our services on a commitment to empowering women to take control of their health. Our clinical approach combines expert and compassionate staff with patient-centered features and the most advanced technology available. At our centers, women have access to the most advanced exam available. This technology detects 41 percent more invasive breast cancers while reducing the recalls. We've made the appointment process easier with online scheduling, conveniently located centers, and on-time appointments. We make the experience better with an inviting environment, private dressing rooms, coffee and tea in the waiting room, warm cloth robes and genuinely friendly attention.
