Houston Health Insurance and Breast Cancer Awareness
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and people in Houston, Texas are gathering together to support the cause. According to the article “Community Breast Health Event at Cy-Fair Hospital” found on the cypresstimes.com, the Women’s Imaging Center at Cy-Fair Hospital is hosting a Breast Health Event on October 29th.
The Cypress Fairbanks Women’s Imaging Center has an experienced and caring staff who understand the importance of supporting breast health. This event will not only raise awareness, but they will be offering education on self exams, general breast health information as well as offering giveaways and bone density testing.
The article points out that breast cancer affects 1 in every 8 women in the US. Early detection is very important in treating breast cancer. The American Cancer Society recommends that women over 40 years of age should get a mammogram once a year and many Houston health insurance companies should cover this screening.
