AdventHealth Mobile Mammography Bus at Her Health event in Trinity
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, AdventHealth North Pinellas will host events focusing on supporting women’s health and offering free breast cancer screenings for those without insurance.
Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the United States, but when detected early, it is highly treatable. That’s why AdventHealth is committed to increasing awareness, promoting regular screenings, and making it easier than ever to schedule a potentially life-saving mammogram.
On Saturday, October 4, community members in Trinty were able to attend “Her Health Matters” featuring expert panels, mobile mammography screenings, and a variety of clinical and wellness vendors. Participants were able to speak directly with healthcare professionals and gain critical knowledge about prevention, early detection, and treatment options.
Tiffany Nieters, the lead mammographer at AdventHealth North Pinellas said getting a mammogram is a quick and easy step women can take for their health that could potentially be lifesaving. Mammograms can take about 15 minutes.
“They sometimes hear horror stories and once they get here they see it, and they realize it’s not that bad. So, events like this shows exactly what they’re going to be having done and they see how easy it is.”
