Beaufort Takes Action This October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
This October, the charming city of Beaufort is buzzing with exciting events and opportunities to support breast cancer awareness and early detection. A vital part of this effort includes a special offer from Beaufort Memorial for women looking to safeguard their health.
Affordable Mammograms at Your Fingertips
Throughout the month of October, Beaufort Memorial is providing a fantastic deal on 3-D mammograms for just $99. This offer makes it easier than ever for women to take charge of their breast health by getting screened with one of the best tools available for early breast cancer detection. Whether you’re in Beaufort, Okatie, or Hilton Head Island, you can take advantage of this offer. Plus, if you purchase the $99 mammogram voucher by the end of October, you won’t need to rush! You can schedule your screening at any time within the next six months.
This discount is made available through MDsave, a convenient online healthcare marketplace created specifically for patients who may not have insurance or who have high-deductible health plans. Taking care of your health shouldn’t be a financial burden, and this is a great way to keep yourself safe.
A Celebration of Survivorship
Alongside the opportunity for early detection, Beaufort Memorial is also dedicated to celebrating those who have triumphed over breast cancer. On Saturday, October 5, the hospital is hosting its very first Breast Cancer Survivors Wellness Expo from 8 to 11:30 a.m. at the Beaufort Medical & Administrative Center’s rear parking lot, located at 990 Ribaut Road. This unique event aims to honor survivors and their journeys with a day filled with fun, education, and connection.
“We feel patients and their loved ones don’t celebrate the wins in ‘survivorship’ as much as they should,” says a breast care navigator at Beaufort Memorial and expo organizer. This exciting new event will provide survivors, their families, and caregivers with valuable information about the resources that are available not just at the hospital but within the wider community too.
What to Expect at the Expo
Visitors will have access to a range of resources, including information on genetic testing for those who may be at an increased risk of developing breast cancer. Best of all, you don’t need to be a Beaufort Memorial patient to join in the celebration! To participate in this welcoming and informative event, simply register for free by visiting the hospital’s website.
Beauty and Support for Survivors
The support groups at Beaufort Memorial, which are open and free to the public, are also a huge part of this supportive community. If you’re interested, it’s best to reserve your spot ahead of time by visiting the Beaufort Memorial site or calling their helpful staff.
Join the Cause This October!
With all these initiatives, Beaufort is on a mission this October to promote awareness, provide crucial health resources, and to cheer on those who have faced breast cancer. It’s a month dedicated not only to fighting breast cancer but also rallying around the survivors and fostering a spirit of hope and community. Let’s come together to take action, spread awareness, and celebrate life!
