In October we wear pink for breast cancer awareness! We would like to take this opportunity to show our support to all our family members, friends, patients, and colleagues, who have battled or are currently battling this awful cancer. We also share in the sadness of those who have lost loved ones to it. We would like to share these statistics in hopes it remind you that early detection is key! If you are due for your mammogram let us help you get that scheduled!
