(Savannah, GA) Your life is important to you and your family.
That's why it's important to do something good for your health.
Hundreds of women took advantage of the 4th annual Day for Mammograms today.
Mammography Technicians were busy all day at Candler Hospital's Telfair Pavilion.
Early detection is all that we have right now, and getting checked is one of the best ways to raise awareness.
"Prevention is the best cure I think. You know if you start in time in case something is there you may have time to correct it before it's too late,” says Naomi Bell
"We can't cure cancer. Unfortunately we are not there yet, but when we find it early enough of course that means a better prognosis for the patient and can mean the difference between life and death," says Lora Sapp.
The push for women to get Mammograms today is part of Paint the Town Pink.
