A Message from the CEO: No Excuses (8pg)

There are dozens of excuses for a woman over 40 not to schedule an annual mammogram. She can say that she doesn’t have time because of her busy schedule. She may think the exam will be painful, or she’ll feel embarrassed. Or she may mistakenly believe that a mammogram is not very effective in detecting the disease and that she doesn’t need one anyway because no one in her family has ever had breast cancer. But the truth of the matter is that there really are no excuses! A mammogram is an early detection test that saves thousands of lives each year. It’s safe and only takes 15 to 30 minutes to perform. If you have not already scheduled your annual mammogram, make an appointment today. Please, do it for your family. Do it for yourself.
