Breast Cancer Awareness Month Brings Exciting Events and Affordable Screenings to Beaufort
As October rolls around, the vibrant city of Beaufort is bursting with energy as the community comes together to observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This month holds a significant meaning for many, serving as a reminder to prioritize health and support those battling breast cancer. This year, Beaufort Memorial is offering something truly special—3-D mammograms at an unbeatable price of just $99. There’s no better time to take charge of your health!
Affordable Screenings for All Women
Beaufort Memorial is encouraging women to book their mammogram appointments this October by offering an incredible deal. The $99 3-D screenings are available throughout the month in convenient locations across Beaufort, Okatie, and Hilton Head Island. This offer is perfect for those who might not have health insurance or are dealing with high-deductible plans, thanks to the partnership with MDsave, an online healthcare marketplace.
Those interested in snagging this fantastic deal can purchase a $99 mammogram voucher by the end of October. The best part? You won’t have to rush to schedule your appointment right away—you can book it anytime within the next six months! It’s a hassle-free way to prioritize your health during this crucial month of raising awareness.
Celebrating Survivorship with Special Events
But that’s not all. Beaufort Memorial is making waves this October not just through affordable screenings, but also by celebrating those who have fought bravely against breast cancer. A highlight of the month will be the first-ever Breast Cancer Survivors Wellness Expo on Saturday, October 5, from 8 to 11:30 a.m. This exciting event will take place at the Beaufort Medical & Administrative Center’s rear parking lot, located at 990 Ribaut Road.
According to event organizers, the goal of the expo is clear: “We feel patients and their loved ones don’t celebrate the wins in ‘survivorship’ as much as they should,” expressed a representative from the Beaufort Memorial Breast Health Center. This free event promises to be a wonderful morning filled with education, fun, and meaningful connections for patients, survivors, family members, and caregivers alike.
At the expo, attendees will be able to gather valuable information about available resources at Beaufort Memorial and within the community. There will even be discussions surrounding genetic testing—a critical topic for those at risk for developing breast cancer. Everyone is welcome, so even if you’re not currently a Beaufort Memorial patient, stop by and join the festivities! Registration is easy through their website.
Empowering Survivors Through Beauty Techniques
Another wonderful opportunity for survivors takes place on October 9 during the regular breast cancer support group meeting at the Beaufort Medical Plaza, specifically in classroom 350 on the third floor. This session will feature a beauty techniques tutorial aimed at breast cancer survivors, helping them learn some easy techniques for achieving glowing skin and enhancing their features. Because feeling good on the outside can truly uplift the spirit!
The tutorial will run from 6 to 7 p.m. and is designed to be fun and informative. Support groups at Beaufort Memorial are always free and open to the public, but be sure to secure your spot with a reservation. It’s a lovely way to engage, learn, and uplift one another in a warm and welcoming environment.
Your Health Matters
This October, let’s make it an essential goal to prioritize health and well-being, especially for women. Beaufort Memorial is providing fantastic opportunities not just to get screened affordably but also to support and celebrate the incredible survivors in our community. Mark your calendars, spread the word, and let’s embrace this month with open hearts and open minds!
