October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and St. Francis-Emory Healthcare is making it easier than ever to get your yearly mammogram screening. In observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, St. Francis Center for Breast Health will host a special event for teachers and extended hours every Tuesday during October. Don’t wait to have your annual mammogram. Our technology includes 3D mammography. A 3D mammogram can improve cancer detection by 40% (breastcancer.org). Breast imaging that offers better accuracy and few callbacks can be life-saving, especially for women with dense breast tissue.
