ST. PETERSBURG — During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated will increase awareness worldwide during its observation day events held Oct. 4. Please join the ladies of the Zeta Upsilon Omega Chapter in St. Petersburg in partnership with Advent Health as they offer convenient mammograms through the Advent Health Mobile Mammography Bus from 8-1 p.m. at the Enoch Davis Center.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death among women in the United States. However, early detection through mammogram screenings improves the survival rate of diagnosed women. Under the international program theme entitled Exemplifying Excellence Through Sustainable Service, the Women’s Healthcare and Wellness committees focus on breast cancer awareness and prevention in African-American women by encouraging regular mammograms.
Take advantage of this convenient way and location to get your annual mammogram. Please schedule today at AdventHealthMobileMammography.com or 813-601-1925. Walk-ins are welcomed, but advance registration is preferred. Proof of insurance is required.
