BSA Harrington Breast Center hosting mammogram screening, festivities Saturday

The BSA Harrington Breast Center is hosting its annual Mammo Party on Saturday, Nov. 18 from 8 a.m. to noon.

The event gives women in the community the opportunity to schedule their annual mammography screening while enjoying festivities, according to a news release.

According to the American College of Radiology, mammograms have helped reduce breast cancer mortality in the U.S. by nearly 40% since 1990. Women who are 40 years and older are encouraged to sign up for their annual screening mammogram using MyChart at mychart.bsahs.org or calling 806-212-1905.

After completing their mammogram, event-goers will enjoy certified bra fittings courtesy of Dillard’s, gift bags and more. BSA said special guests from Kendra Scott and Panhandle Breast Health will also be joining to participate in the fun.

“Mammo Party brings first-class breast cancer screenings in a fun environment,” said Curtis Reneau, Director of the BSA Harrington Breast Center in the release. “Research shows mammograms save lives, and we want to encourage the women in our community to get screened annually.”
