👻 Mammograms aren’t scary - but not knowing your breast cancer risk? That’s the real fright. If you are a woman aged 40 or above, you should be getting your annual mammogram to screen for breast cancer. However, those under 40 with specific risk factors (family history or known genetic mutations) may want to start mammograms sooner.

🎃 It’s up to each of us to help scare off breast cancer. Prevention starts with awareness and action!

📆 Schedule your mammogram here: http://ascn.io/6188Are3e

“I couldn’t feel anything, but my mammogram caught it.”

Angie, a nurse at Ascension St. Elizabeth Hospital, never thought she was at high risk for breast cancer. But routine screenings revealed early signs of a precancerous condition, giving her the chance to act before it became cancer.

Now, she's sharing her story to remind others: early detection saves lives. Read all about it here: http://ascn.io/6189AiV8U 💗

Together we’re putting life-saving support front and center for families across Wisconsin.

Congratulations to our newest DAISY Award recipient, Karen De la Cruz Ramirez! Her recognition comes at a meaningful time: Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 💞

Karen was nominated for the exceptional compassion she showed while caring for a young patient with advanced breast cancer. The patient was admitted to Ascension All Saints for hospice and comfort care, experiencing intense pain, anxiety and difficulty breathing. Karen patiently explained every comfort measure available and remained at the bedside throughout her shift to ensure the patient felt supported and never alone.
