JOPLIN, MO - Freeman Health System has temporarily paused mammography services at our Women’s Pavilion location in Joplin following a recent review by our accrediting body due to regulatory requirements, as part of our ongoing corrective actions from last year. We continue to work with the American College of Radiology (ACR) to gain clarification, address the findings, and become fully reinstated.

Although this outcome is extremely disappointing, we are working with the ACR to address their noted concerns. At this time, we have not been advised that any patients need to have their images repeated.

Our top priority remains the safety and well-being of our patients. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality care and are taking all necessary steps to resume services in Joplin as soon as possible.

In the meantime, patients are being redirected to Freeman Neosho Hospital, which remains fully certified and continues to provide high-quality mammography services.

We remain committed to transparency, patient safety, and continuous improvement.

Updates will be shared as they become available.
