Mammogram Reminder by Email

The American Cancer Society has developed an online tool for women to receive annual mammogram reminders by e-mail. You can get reminders for yourself or for a loved one.

To sign up, go to: ACS MAMMOGRAM REMINDER

There, you can specify the month in which you last had your mammogram. One year later, you will receive a reminder that it is time to schedule and complete your next breast cancer screening.

REMEMBER:

If you are 40 years or older, have a mammogram every year for as long as you are in good health.

If you are 20-39, a clinical breast exam by your doctor of nurse should be part of your regular check-up.

Of course, if you notice any changes when doing your self-breast exam at home, be sure to make an appointment with your doctor.
