One in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. If breast cancer is detected and treated before it spreads to the lymph nodes and other parts of the body, the chance of a cure is greater than 85 percent!

If you need a physician, call 632-5200.

The Buddy Check™ program encourages all participants to recognize that breast self-examination (BSE) is just one part of a very important three-part program for the early detection of breast cancer. The three-part program-physician examination, routine screening mammography, and breast self-examination- is recommended by major national health organizations including the American Cancer Society, the National Cancer Institute, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
