GALLOWAY, NJ – October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the healthcare professionals at Atlantic Medical Imaging (AMI) are marking the occasion with two very special events and free screening mammograms for uninsured women ages 40 and older with no current or previous breast issues.
The mammograms are available throughout October at all AMI locations in Atlantic and Cape May counties with evening and weekend appointments also available. The program is made possible through the generous support of the AMI Foundation.
To schedule an appointment, please call (609) 677-XRAY (9729) or (609) 463-9500.
Girls Night Out – Most women probably don’t associate mammograms with fun, but AMI’s Girls Night Out on October 6 changed that for many. Held in conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Girls Night Out incorporated things women love: pampering, food and drink, and spending quality time with friends.
The event included screening mammograms, free mini chair massages and free nail polish change, light hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, as well as the opportunity to meet and interact with AMI’s female physicians, technologists and staff. All attendees were entered in a drawing to win a free spa treatment.
“This event represented a ‘best of both worlds’ opportunity for women,” said Dr. Peggy Avagliano, head of women’s imaging at AMI. “It was a fun and enjoyable night out, while at the same time empowering women to take charge of their body and their health.”
Making Strides Walk – The American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Walk Against Breast Cancer will take place on Sunday, Oct. 18 at 10 a.m. at 9th Street and the Boardwalk in Ocean City, NJ. Team AMI invites anyone to join them in this important and fun event.
According to the American Cancer Society, “Every step you take is personal, and every step will help people stay well and get well, find cures and empower communities to fight back against this disease.”
