Longview Regional Medical Center

The Center for Breast Care at Longview Regional Medical Center is the first in East Texas to offer automated breast ultrasound with FDA—approved AI, an advanced screening technology designed to improve breast cancer detection in women with dense breast tissue.

When used alongside mammography, automated breast ultrasound can detect up to 35.7% more cancers. The system also incorporates FDA-approved AI tools that help improve clinical confidence, streamline image readings for physicians, and reduce unnecessary benign biopsies—supporting earlier detection and more precise breast care for women across East Texas.

A big thank you to the Longview Animal Care and Adoption Center for serving as one of our peanut butter donation locations. If you’re stopping by to visit the adorable adoptable pets, consider bringing along a jar (or two!) of peanut butter to donate.

You can also drop off peanut butter at any of our other community donation sites throughout Longview. Together, we’re helping support Longview Community Ministries and families in our community.

Every jar helps spread the love! 💛

DID YOU KNOW that LACAC is a dropoff location for the JARS OF LOVE campaign? This month, Longview Regional Medical Center is working with our community to collect 4,000 jars of peanut butter to support families served by Longview Community Ministries. Every jar helps provide a simple, nutritious staple to neighbors who need it most.

Our collection bin is located right in our adoption lobby, so please feel welcome to swing by now through March 30! Help us help Longview.

Longview Regional Medical Center First in East Texas to Introduce Advanced CT Technology

LRMC has expanded its diagnostic capabilities with the addition of a new advanced CT imaging system — bringing even more high-quality, specialized care closer to home.

This state-of-the-art technology enhances image clarity, improves efficiency, and creates a more comfortable patient experience. With advanced 512-slice imaging and AI-powered precision, certain highly specialized scans that once required travel outside the area can now be performed right here at LRMC.

“We are continuously evaluating ways to elevate patient care in East Texas,” said CEO Patrick Swindle. “This addition reflects our commitment to innovation, accessibility, and long-term investment in our region.”

At LRMC, we’re proud to continue investing in advanced technology so our community can access exceptional care — without leaving home.

As we wrap up American Heart Month, we’re proud to share that 135 East Texas teens participated in today’s FREE Teen Heart Screen at Longview Regional Medical Center. ❤️

Some serious heart conditions show little to no symptoms, especially in young athletes. Screenings like this provide early detection and peace of mind for families.

Thank you to our cardiovascular team, volunteers, and the 135 teens and families who made heart health a priority today.

Caring for East Texas hearts is what we do every day. ❤️
