BK Ford Continues to Support Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Free Mammograms

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and BK Ford is proud to continue its commitment in joining the fight. October 2nd marks the start of our campaign in partnership with Baylor Scott & White Medical Center-Hillcrest, offering 88 free mammograms to women in Central Texas in honor of our 88th year anniversary.

Early detection is crucial, and we want to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent women from receiving the screenings they need. “We are thrilled to provide this service,” said Claire Kultgen McDonald, President of BK Ford. “Our goal is to make sure that every woman has access to the necessary screenings for early detection.” Baylor Scott & White have provided everything you need to know about Mammography and Breast Imaging services on their website. We invite our community to also participate in raising awareness about breast health. Wear pink throughout October, spread the word about the importance of regular mammograms, and share valuable education and resources with your loved ones.

Breast Cancer Awareness Did you know one in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime? With breast cancer as the second most common cancer in American women, maintaining proper breast health is crucial. more Monitoring your breast health with self and yearly exams increases your chances of catching cancer early. Breast cancers found during screening exams are more likely to be smaller and less likely to have spread outside of the breast. That is why it is essential to know your body and monitor it closely so you can catch any abnormalities that may arise. What is BK Ford Doing to Help? During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Bird Kultgen Ford is teaming up with Baylor Scott & White Hillcrest to raise awareness of the importance of breast health. For BK-Ford’s 86th anniversary, we are providing 86 free mammograms to women in need.
