Regular mammograms are crucial for the early detection of breast cancer. In the early stages, most breast cancer lumps are too small to be detected by touch. Mammograms help catch cancer early, when it's most treatable, so it's important to prioritize annual screening. If you're due for a mammogram, don't hesitate to schedule one today. You can call 574-335-4500 for an appointment on our Mobile Medical Unit or visit sjmed.com/appointment to schedule a mammogram online. Learn more about the MMU at https://bit.ly/3XTQiCd.
