Breast Cancer Awareness night

"Low socioeconomic status, lack of medical coverage, barriers to early detection and screening, and unequal access to improvements in cancer treatment are factors that contribute to the difference in survival rates."

The Breast, Cervical and Colon Health Program provides free breast, cervical, and colon cancer screening to low-income people in Washington State.  Here's the similar program in Oregon.

Did you know the Tri-Cities Cancer Center offers free screenings?  (I did not.)

The Cancer Center provides free cancer screenings throughout the year. The following screenings are typically available:

• Breast & Cervical
• Skin Cancer
• Prostate Cancer
• Colorectal Cancer – Free kits available year round

After each screening, Cancer Center staff will follow-up with you regarding your results. You are encouraged to share these results with your healthcare provider.

Screenings are offered at no-cost. On occasion there may be restrictions or limitations.

To learn more about upcoming dates of our screenings, please contact Connie, our Resource Coordinator, by email or at (509) 737-3420.  (TCCC)

Seattle is in town for the annual Breast Cancer Awareness night.  Hopefully the pink ice and the cause will bring in a big rowdy crowd to get the boys pumped up.  They've also had a few days off for some rest and recuperation.  The T-Birds are never exactly easy to play against.  They may not be very good, but they'll make you work.  And shots on goal, shots on goal, shots on goal.  That is always the game plan against Calvin Pickard.
