A Message from the CEO
Today Is The Day

Have you had your annual mammogram? It’s an important, even life- saving question for women over 40. Unfortunately, a recent study showed that 50 percent of women who have insurance that covers a mammogram have NOT had an annual breast-cancer screening. 50 percent! And that number is no doubt even higher for women without health insurance. We all need to do better. As Reese Witherspoon says in her interview, early detection is the key to preventing breast cancer. And an annual mammogram for women over 40 is the best tool we have for early detection. It’s time to stop making excuses and start taking action. Make today the day you schedule your mammogram. Encourage your wife, your sister, your aunt, your mother, your daughter and your female friends and neighbors to do the same. Together, we can a difference in the lives of the women we love.
