DUBOIS- The American Cancer Society has been sharing some great news about breast cancer. Women diagnosed with breast cancer are having more positive outcomes largely due to advances in treatment and earlier detection.
Breast Care Services at Penn Highlands DuBois and Penn Highlands Life’s Journey OB/GYN are conducting a free breast and cervical screening to help promote women’s health and breast cancer awareness. The event will be held on Monday, October 27, from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM in the Imaging Services Suite in the Penn Highlands DuBois Center of Excellence located at 123 Hospital Ave., DuBois, Pennsylvania.
“Our free screenings provide a great opportunity to detect abnormalities before symptoms are even present,” said Ashley Parsons, MSN, FNP, NP-C, IBCLC, NCMP, a Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner at Penn Highlands Life’s Journey OB/GYN. “Early detection often requires less invasive and aggressive treatments and has more positive outcomes.”
A free clinical breast exam, mammogram, pelvic exam and pap smear are available to women with or without insurance who meet eligibility requirements.
