Cayuga Centers Hosts Breast Screening Event on June 28, 2024
2024年6月17日 - 11:00PM
Cayuga Centers announces its partnership with Rochester
Regional Health's Mobile Mammography Center (RRH) to provide
mammograms to women in the community on Friday, June 28th, 2024,
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. EDT. Eligible women can register
for a private appointment or find out more by visiting the RRH
website or calling 585-992-PINK (7465).
The Rochester Regional Health’s Mobile Mammography Center is a
spacious mobile coach equipped with state-of-the-art technology and
certified mammography technologists available to provide 3D
mammograms. This event marks the fifth year Cayuga Centers will be
hosting RRH’s mobile mammography center on its Auburn campus.
The mobile mammography center is part of a larger initiative to
make screening simple and accessible, especially for women with
busy schedules. Michael Dober, Director of Safety and Wellness says
the organization “is dedicated to promoting preventive screenings
and ensuring staff, foster parents, and community members have the
opportunity and means to take charge of their health.”
This event is open to all women over 40 in the community and
Cayuga Centers’ staff. According to the National Breast Cancer
Foundation, a mammogram can be pivotal to early detection of breast
cancer, making treatments more successful and increasing survival
rates. Some studies found that early screening decreased breast
cancer deaths by up to 29 percent.
To participate, patients must bring their ID and an insurance
card. If you are not insured, you will be able to receive a
screening free of charge. Patients are encouraged to arrive a few
minutes early, and screenings take approximately 15 minutes.
