Breast Health Month American Cancer Society recommendations for the early detection of breast cancer:

  • Women age 40 and older should have a mammogram every year, and should continue to do so for as long as they are in good health.
  • Women in their 20s and 30s should have a clinical breast examination as part of a regular health exam by a health professional preferably every 3 years. At age 40, women should have a breast exam by a health professional every year.
  • Women should report any breast changes to their health professional right away. Breast self exam is an option for women starting in their 20s. Women should be told about the benefits and limitations of BSE.
  • Women at increased risk should talk with their doctor about the benefits and limitations of starting mammograms when they are younger, having additional tests, or having more frequent exams.

Low cost mammograms available Monday through Friday. Call (863) 297-1885 to schedule an appointment. Speakers are also available to provide information on breast health for your club or organization through our Speakers Bureau. Call 291-6705 or 1-800-416-6705
