EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The Hospitals of Providence recognizes Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a Think Pink event to encourage women to get a mammogram.
Knowing how busy women are in their daily lives, the hospitals’ breast imaging centers are offering a special mammogram event to ensure women have time to get this important exam done. Mammograms are the most effective form of early detection for breast cancer, the Hospitals of Providence said.
The Hospitals of Providence Imaging Centers will offer special cash rates – $60 breast screenings and $130 3D imaging during mammo event.
The Think Pink event will be held from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2 at the THOP Imaging Center West, 601 Sunland Park Dr. and at the THOP Breast and Women’s Health Center East, 3270 Joe Battle, Suite 340-B.
Appointments are available by calling (833) 227-6961.
