Screening appointments using the new 3D Mammogram equipment will be available beginning Oct. 1, to coincide with national Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The BCH Board of Trustees and FHF Board will be working together on a capital campaign to raise the remaining $285,000 needed to complete the purchase of this life-saving cancer screening equipment.
