This a must-see event on #breastcancer and #breastdensity -- learn the facts, ask your Members of Congress & USPSTF to take action to expand insurance coverage for supplemental screening (which is essential screening beyond a mammogram), ask your doctor if you are getting supplemental screening if you are among the 50% of all #women with dense breasts, and tell your friends to learn their breast tissue type and advocate for the care they need. 71% of all breast cancer #patients have dense breasts and if you have dense breasts, mammograms only work 50% of the time in detecting cancer. Yet technology exists to fill this gap, but women are not able to access if coverage is denied. Early detection saves lives! Leslie Ferris Yerger -- you are saving lives with ALL that you do -- a warrior for women, an unstoppable #changemaker and my hero! #womenshealth

🌸🔍 Unveiling the Reality 🎗️: Breast cancer, the second most prevalent form worldwide among women, is a formidable adversary. Mere awareness is insufficient; we must empower ourselves and others with knowledge. Did you know that: 👉 Only 13% of women check their breasts 'ONCE A YEAR OR LESS.' 👉 A concerning 44% of women do not engage at all in regular breast self-checks. 👉 and most shockingly, 10% of women have NEVER performed a breast self-exam. Let's turn these numbers around through awareness, education, and regular self-examinations, and don't become a statistic. Knowledge is power! 💪💖 #BreastCancerAwareness #KnowYourself #HealthStats
