Confused About Mammography? To Screen or Not To Screen?
Healthcare decisions are personal and often confusing, especially when leading health organizations have conflicting guidelines. What are the possible benefits, what are the trade-offs and what makes sense for you? What’s best for you and your family?
Throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Yale Health is partnering with The Patient Revolution, a non-profit organization committed to developing tools, programs and resources that support people and communities in conversations with their providers.
Bring your lunch and join us for an informal, roundtable discussion about mammography screening for breast cancer where we will share information and provide a space for you and a small group of your peers to think, feel, and talk about what is most important to you.
These small group discussions are most valuable for women aged 35 and older. All members of the Yale community are welcome. Register for one of our upcoming sessions on campus throughout the month of October.
