UT Medical Center Mobile Mammography Unit Heads to Sweetwater
Published: Thursday, June 7, 2007
The University of Tennessee Medical Center’s Breast Health Outreach Program will offer screening mammograms at Sweetwater Nursing Center, located at 978 Highway 11 S, on Thursday, June 21 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Screenings will take place in the medical center’s Mobile Mammography Unit.
Women 35 and older are eligible for the screenings and may schedule an appointment by calling the UT Medical Center Breast Health Outreach Program 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays at 865.544.9753. Health insurance is filed for each participant and those without coverage may contact the Breast Health Outreach Program for available options.
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every two minutes in the United States. The American Cancer Society recommends that women age 40 and older have a screening mammogram (X-ray of the breast) and a clinical breast exam every year. A mammogram can detect breast cancer up to two years before it is large enough to be felt. Detecting breast cancer at an early stage greatly improves chances of survival.
The Breast Health Outreach Program at the University of Tennessee Medical Center’s Cancer Institute provides essential breast health education and screenings to women throughout a 25-county region in East Tennessee. Funded by the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and Avon Foundation Breast Care Fund, the Breast Health Outreach Program at UT Medical Center has served more than 11,000 women since its inception in 1996. For more information about the program, visit online at www.utmedicalcenter.org or call 865.544.9753.
