In celebration of moms, Huron Regional Medical Center is encouraging women to treat themselves by calling to schedule a mammogram during the month of May.
Anyone who calls by May 31, will be entered into a drawing to win a pampering package including a manicure, pedicure and massage or six seasonal floral bouquet deliveries. Women who refer a friend will receive a second entry into the drawing. The actual mammogram appointment can occur between May 1 and October 31, 2017.
For women worried about the cost of a mammogram, the HRMC Foundation We’ve Got You Covered fund, HRMC provides FREE mammograms to women in need:
• who are age 40-64
• who are under age 40 and at higher risk for cancer
• who have not had a mammogram in two years, and
• who do not have insurance/insurance does not cover
HRMC’s digital mammography uses safe, low doses of X-rays to image the inside of breasts and computer-aided detection (CAD) provides a “second read” of the mammogram by a computer to assist the radiologist in making an accurate diagnosis. HRMC’s digital mammography system is fast, yet ultra-sensitive, and generally only takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.
