Wine, chesse and mammograms during girls night out | Health

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and doctors say early detection is the best protection. 

Saint Francis Breast Center is offering you an opportunity to get a digital mammogram during "Girls Night Out - Mammos Til Midnight!"

The event takes place at the St. Francis Breast Center at 5959 Park Avenue in Memphis.

The digital mammograms will be offered from 5 p.m. to 12 midnight in an effort to knock out breast cancer.

Mammograms are covered by almost all health insurance plans.  The American Cancer Society recommends that women 40 and over receive yearly mammograms.

“Girls Night Out” will make appointments more convenient for you in a relaxed atmosphere.

Wine, cheese, Hors D' Oeuvres and “mocktails” will be served. You may call 901-765-3279 to schedule an appointment.
