Join Blount Memorial Saturday, May 10 as they host their Inaugural Downtown Dash for Breast Cancer to honor breast cancer survivors, remember those who have fought the battle, and raise money to expand access to life-saving breast cancer screening and diagnostic services right here in Blount County! Gather for this event at Blount Memorial Health Center at Springbrook – 220 Associates Blvd. Alcoa, TN.
Did you know 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime? Early detection is the best protection! So let’s raise money to add an additional mammography machine to Prisma Health-Blount Memorial’s Breast Center! One with that allows for contrast enhanced mammography to eliminate uncomfortable MRI’s and expand access to screening and diagnostic services! In 2024, the Breast Center did 12,217 screening exams and diagnosed 95 breast cancers – talk to your doctor and see when you should begin getting mammograms!
