Breast Cancer is the second most common cancer in women, affecting over 3 million women across the United States. Even though the death rate has been decreasing since 1989, other than lung cancer, breast cancer still has the highest death rate for women. This decrease is thought to be the result of increased awareness, the advancement of treatments, and earlier detection through screening. Clara Barton Hospital is excited to announce that they are now offering state-of-the-art GeniusTM 3D Mammography exams by Hologic.

A hospital is more than a place where people go to heal, it is a part of the community that fosters health and represents hope. From providing treatment and comfort to the sick, to partnering on the path to recovery, hospitals are central to a healthy and optimistic community. That’s why the theme for National Hospital week this year is “Caring is Our Calling.” Celebrated May 6th-12th, National Hospital Week presents an opportunity to thank the dedicated individuals who care for us when we need it most.
