October is a
month where many come together and bring awareness to Breast Cancer and all of
those who have been and are affected by it. The Harrisonburg Community Health
Center and the Rockingham Memorial Hospital partnered up on Saturday October 6,
2012 to give back and help move forward!
On October 6,
the RMH mobile unit made appointments to HCHC patients for free mammograms. It
was a fabulous success as 19 women were able to receive the service. It was such a great experience that the RMH
mobile unit is looking forward to another day of free mammograms in the
spring!
Rockingham
Memorial Hospital’s mobile unit is “the first mobile unit in the nation to be
equipped with the full-field GE digital mammography unit” (RMH Breast Care). A mammogram is an x-ray picture of the breast.
This mobile service is able to come out to neighborhoods, churches, and events
to help promote education and safety about breast cancer. A schedule can be
found here.
