The Vanderbilt Breast Center will offer a special employee mammography screening day to encourage Vanderbilt women age 40 and over to get a yearly mammogram, which remains the gold standard for early detection of breast cancer.
The Breast Center has set aside 100 appointment slots between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 24, for previously scheduled and “walk-in” patients over 40 who haven't had a mammogram within the past 12 months. Please note that co-pays will apply and insurance will be billed for services.
The first 100 Vanderbilt women who come to the Breast Center for screenings will receive milkshakes and sandwiches, a pair of breast cancer awareness earrings and a copy of Why We Walk: An Inspirational Journey Toward A Cure For Breast Cancer.
The Breast Center is located in Suite 2500 at the Villages at Vanderbilt, 1500 21st Ave., S. For information: 322-2064.
