In commemoration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, The Loretto Hospital is offering free, 2D and 3D tomosynthesis mammograms for uninsured or underinsured residents of Chicago’s Austin neighborhood and surrounding communities throughout the month of October. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among all female populations in the U.S., and while incidence of breast cancer is lower among Latinas than non-Hispanic white women, the disease tends to affect Latin women younger and more aggressively than other groups, according to the National Institutes of Health. The Loretto Hospital will round out Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a Facebook Live event titled “The Pink Table.” On Thursday, Oct. 22 beginning at 5:30 p.m., community members are invited to attend the roundtable-style discussion, which will feature several of Loretto’s breast cancer warriors as they share their personal experiences with the disease and the importance of screening and early detection. Those interested in attending can visit https://www.facebook.com/Lorettohospitalchicago/ on the day of the event.
