YOU’RE GETTING NEW NEIGHBORS OR HADN’T YOU HEARD?

If it is not in the newspaper, you won’t know about it.

A screening mammogram is an important tool in early detection – it can help detect a problem long before it appears as a lump. Annual mammograms are recommended by the American Cancer Society for women aged 40 and older.
