October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the staff and physicians at Paris Regional Health’s Radiology Department are urging residents of the hospital’s service area to take advantage of this valuable hometown resource to stay abreast of breast cancer.
“The imagining center at Paris Regional Health sees about 320 to 340 patients a month seeking mammographies,” Natasha Dixon, director of the imagining department at PRH said.
