Are you tempted to skip this years’ mammogram due to the COVID pandemic? You are not alone, COVID-19 has caused mammography rates to plummet. Mammograms are not exactly something every woman looks forward to, but we can not ignore their significance and the possible consequences of not getting screened. Join us for a panel discussion about the steps and safety precautions that screening facilities are taking to protect your health; get answers to your questions about what to expect when you go for your appointment; and ways to overcome feelings of stress and anxiety that may arise as a result of screening during the pandemic.
Once you are registered we will send you the link.

¿Está pensando en no hacerse la mamografÃa este año a causa de la pandemia? Usted no es la única. El COVID-19 ha causado que muchas mujeres dejen de hacerse su mamografÃa anual. Antes del Coronavirus, las mamografÃas ya eran una fuente de miedo y ansiedad para muchas, pero no podemos olvidar que juegan un papel importante en nuestro cuidado médico. Le invitamos a un panel informativo sobre las precauciones que los centros de mamografÃa están tomando para proteger su salud, responderemos sus preguntas y le daremos detalles de lo que pasa en la cita para que nada la tome por sorpresa. También, hablaremos sobre cómo lidiar con el estrés y la ansiedad de ir al examen durante la pandemia.
Cuando recibamos su información, le enviaremos un correo con el enlace de acceso al programa.
