Get Screened Mammogram Event

Are you lesbian, bisexual, queer, and/or trans*?
Have breast or chest tissue?
50 years old or older?

Get Screened is hosting an LGBTQ-only mammogram event! Research shows regular breast screening for those 50 69 can reduce deaths from breast/chest cancer by 21%. And yet, LGBTQ communities are less likely to get screened even though we have higher risk factors for breast/chest cancer. Take care of yourself by getting screened for breast/chest cancer while pampering yourself with holistic health services.
