      Let’s win this fight against breast cancer!

      Starting with your annual exams.

      Of the approximately 84 million women in the United States who are 40 years and older, 54% of those women do not get their annual mammograms.* While mammograms can cause discomfort, it is crucial that you always have your annual breast exam appointments. These annual exams are an important tool in our fight against breast cancer and can save a life.
