The Power of Pink: How Breast Cancer Awareness Month Left Its Mark

For the month of October – Breast Cancer Awareness Month – Adagio Health Medical staff decorated their offices in the spirit of education and prevention of breast cancer.

This year alone, over 300,000 women in the United States have been diagnosed with breast cancer. It is also the second leading cause of cancer death in women, according to the American Cancer Society, but, if diagnosed early, the rate of survival goes up by 99%.

Early detection is key, and that is why Adagio Health’s Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program helps underinsured and uninsured women over 21 get the preventative care they need, like access to clinical breast exams, mammogram screenings, and diagnostic testing as needed – all at no cost for eligible patients.

Adagio Health’s Mammogram Voucher Program also helps patients, of any age or gender, get free mammograms and diagnostic testing in central, western, and northeastern Pennsylvania. Find out if you are eligible for these programs by calling 1-888-687-0505.
