A Message From Our CEO: No More Excuses

Getting screened and early detection is key to beating breast cancer.

It’s understandable. You’re busy, after all. There’s work. There’s family. There just doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day to do everything you need to do. So you’ve been putting off scheduling your mammography exam. It’s understandable. But as a result, you could end up losing your life. Early detection is the key to beating breast cancer, and a mammogram is the best tool women have for early detection. At age 40, you should talk to your doctor about your risk factors for breast cancer and decide when you need to schedule a mammogram. It’s time to stop making excuses and start taking action.  More than 250,000 American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017, and about 40,000 will die from the disease. Make today the day you schedule your mammogram.
