POSTAL

Breast Cancer is a leading cause of death in women between the ages of 50 and 69. Since you fall into this age group, you are invited to take part in the "Provincial Breast Screening Program".

This program is designed to help in the early detection of cancer of the breast. By detecting cancer earlier, we will help lower the number of women who die every year from this disease.

The program consists of a special X-ray called a Mammogram as well as education on how to examine your breasts and general information on breast health. Plan on spending about one hour with us. You should also have a breast exam done by your doctor every year and we ask that you have this done before your appointment with us. A pamphlet describing the program has been included for your information.

This is a free service and no doctor's referral is necessary. Please call the screening site nearest you and have your Medicare card ready when you call. We ask that you do not wear any deodorant or powder to your appointment.

Traditionally, women have not been comfortable talking about breast health. Please don't let this fear stop you from calling. Act now!!

The screening sites are:

Charlotte County Hospital - St. Stephen, N. B.  1-506-465-4450

St. Joseph's Hospital - Saint John, N. B.  1-506-632-5566

Sussex Health Centre - Sussex, N. B.  1-506-432-3229

We hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,



Breast Screening Program
