Women's Pavilion
The Women's Pavilion is an unprecedented assembly of the newest technology, along with a highly skilled team of many of the brightest, most experienced women's health professionals in New England. On the fourth floor of the Hill Health Center at Milford Regional, the facility offers many fine services, but is first and foremost a stellar diagnostic center dedicated to the accurate and compassionate diagnosis and treatment of women in Central Massachusetts.
The Women's Pavilion began as the vision of one female physician who had experienced breast cancer. Since its opening in 1996, The Women's Pavilion has grown into a unique resource where women can access the most advanced technology without sacrificing their humanity. Through a specialized multidisciplinary team, which includes radiologists, gynecologists, obstetricians, surgeons and oncologists, the mission of treating women with commitment, compassion and respect is accomplished daily.
Mammography
Milford Regional has recently invested in the most advanced technology in mammography. 3D mammography, also known as tomosynthesis, is a diagnostic and screening tool that allows radiologists to view your breast in multiple layers or slices creating a 3D image. 3D mammography compliments the 2D digital mammography and is performed at the same time.
Milford Regional has been performing digital mammograms for years but with the addition of tomosynthesis and brand new, upgraded digital equipment, we are able to provide the radiologist with much better visibility of breast tissue. The result is greater accuracy in finding breast cancer at its earliest stage as well as reducing call backs for another test when the radiologist wants a second look.
With convenient morning, evening and weekend hours, mammograms can be scheduled to fit your schedule! Remember, screening mammograms do not need a physician referral. Learn more about our mammography services.
Breast Biopsy
Breast biopsy technology continues to advance dramatically and The Women’s Pavilion team is dedicated to the most accurate and least invasive technology available. While we still offer needle localization and core biopsies where they are indicated, we increasingly offer stereotactic breast biopsies (the least invasive option that can accurately diagnose breast cancer at its earliest – and most treatable – stages). We also offer MRI-guided breast biopsy if the radiologist determines it is the best option. These biopsy methods minimize the need for more invasive surgical procedures.

Ultrasound
Imagine viewing your yet-to-be-born baby as though he/she is being held in your arms! 4D (or real-time 3D) images such as these are now possible at The Women’s Pavilion through the very latest in ultrasound technology. Ultrasound serves as a diagnostic tool for obstetric, pelvic, uterine, ovarian, breast, abdominal and bladder areas. The unprecedented image quality and sensitivity of 3D/4D ultrasound helps visualize abnormalities sooner, leading to earlier detection and treatment for patients.

Bone Densitometry
The very latest in bone mineral densitometry helps women alleviate the risk of osteoporosis with early recognition of its risk factors and proactive treatment. The superior speed and precision with low radiation levels distinguish the technology employed by the Women's Pavilion.

Urodynamic Testing
The Women's Pavilion is making important strides in the diagnosis and treatment of urinary incontinence. Early screening and diagnosis can eliminate years of frustration, embarrassment and the possibility of major surgery. Screening appointments can be scheduled within a week.
Infertility Services
Infertility is a common problem experienced by one in six couples. Over the past several years, science has found many answers to why couples are unable to conceive and there are many treatment options for couples who want to become pregnant. Milford Regional has partnered with the highly regarded infertility specialists at IVF New England to provide infertility services close to home.
