Mammogram party is May 20
LEWISTON — In celebration of Mother’s Day, St. Mary’s Women’s Imaging and Breast Health Departments are hosting a Mother-Daughter Mammography party at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 20. There will be light refreshments and raffle.
Because the hospital feels this screening is so important, it’s not limited to moms and their daughters. Any woman over 40 who hasn’t had a mammogram in the past 12 months is invited. To reserve a spot, call 777-4059.
Mammography screening is the best way to detect breast cancer in its earlier stages and saves lives, yet 4 out of 10 women don’t get this vital screening.
According to the American Cancer Society, mammograms reduce breast cancer mortality by 25-30 percent for women ages 50-70 and 18 percent for women ages 40-50. Additionally, early detection gives women new options for breast-conserving therapy.
