Take Time to Take Care of Yourself

As women, we know you take time to protect the health of so many other people in your life. It’s what makes you a great woman.

But lost, amid watching over others and the rush of life, is your health. And your health not only matters to you, but especially to those who love you.

That’s why it’s time you took care of yourself and that starts by getting your mammogram. Did you know mammography detects most cancers in women without symptoms? In fact, after the age of 40, there is no better defense against breast cancer than an annual mammogram.

Statistics indicate that one in eight women will develop breast cancer sometime in her lifetime. But there’s good news—the stage at which breast cancer is detected influences a woman’s chance of survival, and if detected early, the five-year survival rate is 98 percent.

There are no more excuses. Early breast cancer detection can save your life and those of family and friends.

Protecting your life from this disease could not be easier, with three convenient locations to have your mammogram done. So if you are a Beacon Associate (with Beacon health insurance) over the age of 40, you can have a screening mammogram for free.

Memorial Regional Breast Care Center is now offering the most advanced breast cancer-screening tool (at left), 3D mammography (breast tomosynthesis). Breast tomosynthesis produces a 3D view of the breast tissue that helps radiologists identify and characterize individual breast structures without the confusion of overlapping tissue.

The Selenia Dimensions system provides superior screening and diagnostic performance for all breast types.
