Breast Cancer Awareness Month, recognized across the globe every October, helps to increase attention and support for the awareness, early detection and treatment of this disease. Regular self-checks, breast exams by your provider, and yearly mammograms beginning at age 40, should be part of every woman’s early detection routine.

There is no need to drive out of town for routine diagnostic screenings. Ask your primary care provider to send a referral to Coryell Health Diagnostic Imaging to schedule your mammogram today.
