Go Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness
This past Friday night, I was pleased to see many of our local Northeast Texas high schools “going pink” for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We even see the pink accents from socks to mouth guards that the NFL football players are wearing.
This is with good reason. Breast cancer affects almost 1 in 8 women in the United States and is a curable disease if detected early enough. The American Cancer Society estimates that 287,850 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed this year. These alarming statistics come with a plea for women to understand the importance of scheduling an annual mammogram.
The Ruth & Jack Gillis Women’s Center inside of the CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital in Sulphur Springs provides compassionate care and services needed with the most innovative technology available. This includes Digital 3D mammography, which has proven to increase the detection of breast cancer. A 3D mammogram captures multiple images, or slices, of the breast from several angles, creating a multi-directional image in which masses and breast cancer are easier to see. It benefits women with dense breast tissue by allowing for a more sensitive evaluation. It also reduces the chances of unnecessary screenings due to false alarms.
We encourage you to wear pink, and let it be a reminder to you and your loved ones to be proactive about your health. Schedule your mammogram here today by speaking with your physician, or call 903.438.4325.
Give Back through AmazonSmile
Did you know that you can do nothing other than your regular online shopping at Amazon and give back to our Hopkins County Health Care Foundation? The program is easy and does not cost anything to the Amazon customer.
All a person needs to do is shop through smile.amazon.com instead of amazon.com. Once on smile.amazon.com or the app, be sure to denote the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation as the beneficiary. Do this by going to “Account &Lists” then “Your Account” drop down. Click on Amazon Smile. From there a charity (Hopkins County Health Care Foundation, please) may be designated or changed. If using the app, select “Change your Charity” under Settings.
Purchase of certain products will generate a donation of 0.5% of the sale to the HCHC Foundation. It will cost nothing extra to the Amazon customer, but will be helpful to the Foundation, allowing it to do even more to promote health care initiatives in Hopkins County. Thank you for your contribution!
