Summer Breast Cancer Awareness On-Site at Macy’s Westland Mall, By Appointment Only, Provides Breast & Heart Screenings at No Cost to the General Public
Women’s Breast & Heart Initiative (WBHI) — a leader in disease prevention and early detection— joins the iconic Macy’s who is deeply rooted in the South Florida community.
Celebrating National Pink Day, WBHI inspires the community to embrace the power of prevention during Summer Breast Cancer Awareness reminding all women to Get Your Mammogram. Women are encouraged to contact WBHI to schedule their mammograms at no cost by calling 305-825-4081.
Valued host partner Macy’s adds glamour to the day while supporting good health for all by offering a mini makeover and more! All who complete the screening receive a raffle ticket for a Macy’s gift card, Starbucks gift basket, men’s fragrance basket, or women’s fragrance basket.
Baptist Health, Jackson Health System, and Mount Sinai Medical Center will also be on-site providing heart screenings, presenting a more comprehensive preventive care approach. Men are encouraged to join the day for these screenings.
Everyone can get involved for awareness and remembrance by sharing pink inspired photos and messages on social media using the hashtag #WBHIPinkDay and tagging Facebook@TheWBHI and Instagram@WBHI.
Breast cancer unfortunately can strike at any time, not just October, and is the second most common cancer among women in the U.S. All women are at risk and 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer over their lifetime. Delayed, or missed cancer screenings could mean diagnosis at a later stage with a poorer prognosis.
With pink representing breast cancer, WBHI’s Summer Breast Cancer Awareness celebrating National Pink Day provides access to critical resources at no cost to help beat the odds of breast cancer through early detection. In addition, WBHI will present risk reduction strategies for heart disease which is the leading cause of death for women.
