Colleague Mammo Party Promotes Women’s Breast Health

by

 

The Colleague Mammo Party was a success thanks to Carole Gentry, manager of clinical services at Mercy Health Comprehensive Breast Center, and her team. “Many women who work at Mercy Health Saint Mary’s say, ‘Oh, I should get my mammogram, but I don’t have the time.’ This event was planned for colleagues who otherwise might delay getting a mammogram,” said Gentry. This event was scheduled with the working woman in mind.

Lisa Kinsey Callaway agrees. She took time from her busy day to get her mammogram and enjoy a relaxing chair massage. “The Colleague Mammo Party gave me the opportunity to practice what I preach.”

Seventeen colleagues signed up for the event that featured refreshments, giveaways, chair massages and life-saving mammograms.
