Pink October To Do: Schedule Your Mammogram!

Celebrating the survivors, the warriors, and the fighters. Regular screenings, early detection, and targeted treatment saves lives!

National Mammogram Day is October 20th ~ Many women from marginalized communities encounter barriers to accessing healthcare, leading to later-stage diagnoses and poorer outcomes. Early screening can save lives, allowing for timely interventions that significantly improve survival rates. It’s essential to advocate for accessible screening programs and educate our communities about the importance of regular check-ups.

Moreover, participating in clinical studies can pave the way for breakthroughs in treatment and prevention tailored to these women's unique needs. By getting involved, we contribute to our health and help create a future where all women have equal access to life-saving resources.

This October, let’s unite to support and uplift each other. Let’s ensure that every woman can thrive regardless of background. Schedule your mammogram and support the fight!!
