Hospital programs address breast cancer

Heritage Medical Center is taking a head on approach toward fighting breast cancer with several educational and informational activities taking place through Oct. 14.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and with that comes the celebration of Heritage Medical Center's newly renovated digital mammography suite. Heritage officials say the environment and skilled doctors and nurses will make patients feel right at home.

"Lunch and Learn" guided tours of the new facilities were given today. More tours will be given tomorrow Oct. 9 and Oct. 14 at 11:30 a.m. Tomorrow, Dr. William Russell will speak about breast cancer detection at 12:20 p.m. and on Oct. 14 Dr. Lynette Adams will speak about breast cancer awareness and risks.

Call the hospital at 685-8390 to reserve your tour.
