Breast Cancer Screenings

When breast cancer is diagnosed at an early stage, the 5 year survival rates are as high as 99%.

Don’t Wait, Get Screened!

We can not stress enough how important it is to stay in front of breast cancer by adopting an annual schedule of breast screenings. We hope you are never faced with a breast cancer diagnosis but if you are, the earlier the cancer is detected, the better it is for your survival.
