Awareness / By

Observed on the third Friday in October, National Mammography Day reminds women everywhere to prioritize early detection. Mammograms are one of the most effective tools for finding breast cancer early—often before symptoms appear.

Why It Matters:

  • Regular mammograms can reduce the risk of dying from breast cancer by up to 30%.
  • Early detection means more treatment options and better outcomes.

Take Action:

  • Schedule your annual mammogram.
  • Encourage a friend or loved one to do the same.
  • Learn more about breast health and local screening programs.

Recommendations for All Women:

  • Women 40 and older should have mammograms every year.
  • Women under 40 who have risk factors for breast cancer, such as a significant family history of breast cancer or a genetic mutation, should ask their healthcare provider whether mammograms are advisable and how often to have them.
