Community Hospital Anderson offers free clinical breast exams once a month for women in Madison County. Jeanne Kirk, R.N., breast health specialist, will perform the next exams on Friday, April 13, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Women’s Center.

Clinical breast exams are different than mammograms, and should be done every three years in women ages 20-39, and every year for women over 40. All women over the age of 18 should perform self-breast exams monthly. Women over the age of 35 should have a screening mammogram done once a year.

If abnormality is detected, the patient will be referred to her physician. The women without a physician will be referred to health care providers who are accepting new patients.

Register by calling 298-5139. Future 2007 exam dates are: May 11, June 8, July 13, Aug. 10, Sept. 14, Oct. 12, Nov. 9 and Dec. 14. For a complete list of classes and services offered at Community Hospital Anderson, please visit CommunityAnderson.com.
