Lunch and Learn: Breast to be Informed
Kicking off Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Schliemann Center for Women's Health Education will host Dr. Jennifer Foster of Ozark Surgical Group on Monday, October 3 from noon to 1 p.m. Statistics show that about one in eight U.S. women will develop breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. Early detection and treatment are keys to positive survival outcomes.
