Mother's Day and Mammograms

Mother's Day and Mammograms

As we approach Mother’s Day, we wanted to take a moment to talk about an important topic that applies to women everywhere, including mothers and that is mammograms. Mammograms are the gold standard for finding breast cancer, so they are a life-saving screening. A mammogram is simply an X-ray of the breast tissue and the American Cancer Society recommends that women start annual screening mammograms at age 40. To schedule one at our Research Medical Center main campus or Brookside campus, please call (816) 751-4884. Get screened today!
