The Teachers Health Trust, in conjunction with Lifesigns, Nevada Imaging Centers, Red Rock Radiology, Steinberg Diagnostic Medical Imaging and the Susan G. Komen Foundation, proudly invites you to join us for the 16th annual Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign.
The campaign is open to all Diamond and Platinum Medical Plan participants and is designed to encourage taking an active role with respect to breast health by obtaining free breast exams and mammograms during the months of September, October and November. You do not need to have a referral during the designated times below. To receive your free exam, follow the simple steps below: |

Participants who are aged 40 and older or who have a known family history of breast cancer should obtain an annual mammogram and breast exam. Those who are 20 to 39 years of age should have a physician examine their breasts every three years and should conduct self-exams regularly. Regardless of age, all participants should check their breasts for changes in appearance and sensitivity monthly, preferably seven to 10 days after menstruation. Participants who no longer menstruate should check their breasts the first day of each month. |

The results of your mammogram will be forwarded to your regular physician. If your results are normal, a notice will be sent to you regarding the test results within two to three weeks from the time your test was performed. If your results are abnormal, you will be contacted by phone and asked to follow up with your regular physician.
