Hackensack University Medical Center's Annual Go Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness
October 03, 2022
Hackensack University Medical Center kicked off Breast Cancer Awareness Month with its annual ”Go Pink Fair.” Women of all ages took to Hackensack to learn more about screenings - many made their annual appointment.
An estimated 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer over the course of their lifetime.
Where & when women get their mammograms matters! Many women may have delayed getting screened due to the pandemic but the news of veteran journalist Katie Couric’s breast cancer diagnosis recently, is a tough reminder to all women to book their screening today!
Hackensack Meridian team members from the Betty Torricelli Institute for Breast Cancer and the John Theurer Cancer Center, as well as breast cancer survivors helped guide attendees to making more informed decisions about screenings.
