Celebrating the Power of Pink!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we at Heritage Valley Health System want to take this time to raise awareness about the impact of breast cancer, and to show support for people affected by breast cancer. Mammograms remain the best way to detect breast cancer early, when it’s easiest to treat, and are recommended for women 40 years and older, as well as for younger women who may be at special risk for developing breast cancer. Some of you may have put off screenings or mammograms during the past year, so we encourage you to schedule those tests now.

Heritage Valley’s BreastCare program offers a range of services, from screening and diagnostic breast imaging to treatments for breast cancer, all within the Heritage Valley Health System network. The program also supports self-requesting appointments for those adults who wish to schedule a mammogram but do not have an order from a physician. 

Please call 866-901-MAMO (6266) to schedule an appointment today at one of our eight BreastCare locations.
