This year about 1 million Americans will develop breast cancer.  If detected early, 95% can be successfully treated.  Columbus Regional Health is hosting a FREE clinical breast exam to detect possible breast cancer and to provide referrals for those who may need a follow-up mammogram.

Should you be screened?
If you are age 40 or older and answer “yes” to all of the following statements, you should register today for your FREE exam:  

1)  I have not had a breast exam or mammogram within the last 12 months.

2)  I do not have health insurance or my insurance does not cover screenings.

3)  I do not have a pre-existing breast condition 

4)  I have not been treated for breast cancer in the past 5 years.

If you are someone with dense breast tissue or a family history of breast cancer, we especially encourage you to consider a screening.
