LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – One in eight women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. This October, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Baptist Health wants to remind all women over the age of 40 to schedule their yearly mammogram.
Baptist Health’s Breast Centers, clinics and hospitals are committed to providing a safe and comfortable atmosphere for an exam. Breast cancer doesn’t stop in a pandemic, so it’s important to not delay scheduling a mammogram appointment. All Baptist Health facilities are following health and safety protocols outlined by the Arkansas Department of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
