Jennie Edmundson Foundation Sponsors Pink Out for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month in October, the Jennie Edmundson Foundation (jehfoundation.org) is committed to providing ongoing education about breast cancer and will be selling Pink-Out t-shirts to raise funds to provide mammograms to uninsured or underinsured individuals. Annual mammograms are necessary to be proactive in fighting breast cancer, and educating yourself about the disease is one of the best ways to be informed about the signs and symptoms.
At the Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital, they are committed to providing education on breast cancer. Their Breast Care Center has been recognized for excellence by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Cancers (NAPBC), a quality-assurance program administered by the American College of Surgeons. The Breast Care Center and a certified Breast Health Navigator at Jennie are the central points of contact for education, counseling, and compassion to all individuals. To schedule your mammogram or to see if you qualify for assistance, please call (712) 396-4117. (Limited funds available). Don’t delay—detection saves lives!
The Jennie Edmundson Foundation is dedicated to building a bridge between the Omaha and Southwest Iowa communities and Jennie Edmundson and other Methodist hospitals to meet the healthcare needs of the community.
