Schedule a Mammogram \u2014 Health Care is Self-care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scheduling a mammogram every year is one of the most important forms of self-care a woman can practice. According to the American Cancer Society, 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. Fortunately, thanks to increased awareness, early detection and promising new tests and treatments, 99% of early-stage breast cancer patients survive at least five years<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pregnant or breastfeeding?<\/strong> We provide screening mammograms for pregnant and lactating women, as the tests are considered safe and effective in detecting most breast cancers that may arise during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practice self-care today to feel better in the future \u2014 after all, you can\u2019t show up for the people and things that are important to you unless you show up for yourself first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
