Mammograms In The Moonlight Event At Sturdy Memorial Hospital

Posted

Attleboro, MA, September 25, 2017– Large well-controlled scientific studies have repeatedly shown the benefit of mammography in the early detection of non-palpable breast cancer. While guidelines differ as to when and how frequently a woman should be screened, what is not up for debate is that mammograms enable doctors to diagnose breast cancer in its earliest and most treatable stages. Unfortunately, some women delay their breast cancer screening out of fear or anxiety.
Sturdy Memorial Hospital’s “Mammograms in the Moonlight” event, which takes place Monday, October 23, 2017 between 5-8 pm, aims to make the process more enjoyable and convenient by offering after-hours digital mammograms complete with refreshments. Take time for yourself, invite a family member or friend to join you and scratch your annual mammogram off of your to do list. Kenneth Kaplan, MD, board certified in Diagnostic Radiology and Asma Latif, MD, board certified in Hematology and Oncology, specializing in women’s cancers, will be available to provide education and answer any questions related to screenings and early detection.
This event is for annual mammograms, women participating can use their insurance benefit. As space is limited, registration for this event is necessary. To register, please call 508-236-7730.
