According to Alicia Ekstrom, recruiter/marketing specialist, 25 women received a mammogram at no cost, and many more attended the event to learn about breast cancer screenings, take part in drawings, enjoy pampering services, food and music. TCC partnered with the American Cancer Society, Brooks Memorial Hospital and Chautauqua Cancer Services program for this event, which focuses on informing women throughout the community about how to reduce their risk for breast cancer and become proactive with their health.
