The Facts
The earlier breast cancer is detected the higher the survival rate.

Are you afraid of a mammogram and what it might reveal? Many women are. Unfortunately, this fear could be keeping you from doing the one thing that’s most effective in fighting breast cancer: detecting it early.

Finding breast cancer leads to fighting it. And that can mean the difference between being a survivor and being a statistic. Fearless & Fabulous is a reminder to all women of how fabulous their lives can be when they stop letting fear control them — and embrace the power of early detection.

Talk with your doctor about mammography and how often you need one (frequency changes with age and other risk factors). For more information, please click on the hospital logo listed below.
