The County Health Rankings show us that where we live matters to our health. The health of a community depends on many different factors - ranging from health behaviors, education and jobs, to quality of health care, to the environment.

What It Is:

This measure represents the percent of female Medicare enrollees age 67-69 that had at least one mammogram over a two-year period.

Where It Comes From:

Estimates were calculated for the County Health Rankings by the authors of the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care using Medicare claims data.

Reason for Ranking:

Evidence suggests that mammography screening reduces breast cancer mortality, especially among older women. A physician’s recommendation or referral—and satisfaction with physicians—are major facilitating factors among women who obtain breast cancer screening.  The percent of women ages 40-69 receiving a mammogram is a widely endorsed quality of care measure.
