1 in 8 Can't Wait
Because breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the U.S., Baptist Health has developed a comprehensive program of services for breast health. Hear from Baptist Health’s Dr. Kay Chandler on breast cancer awareness and the importance of mammograms.
Mammography
Mammography is the most accurate method of detecting breast cancer today. Baptist Health providers diligently work to spread the awareness of mammography effectiveness to the women of Arkansas. Women who do follow a regimen of monthly breast self-exams, annual exams by their doctors, and yearly mammograms after age 40 can increase their breast cancer survival rates by up to 97 percent.
