Fight Like a Girl

Get a Mammogram & Help Knock Out Breast Cancer!

Mammography remains the best way to detect breast cancer at its earliest stages – when it is easiest to treat. St. John’s encourages all women to give breast cancer the 1-2 punch!

  1. Perform monthly breast self-exams.
  2. Have a yearly mammogram. Talk to your doctor about when you should begin screening.
