With it being the final week of breast cancer awareness month, the Butler VA is stressing the importance of early detection.
They are encouraging veterans to get screened for breast cancer this month.
However they also say the VA offers high quality women’s care throughout the course of the year, including breast care services.
“VA encourages all women Veterans to speak with their health care providers about breast health and get checked and treated for breast cancer,” said Sharon Coyle, Acting Director. “We recognize that some Veterans may have missed their regularly scheduled mammogram due to COVID-19 and encourage women Veterans to reach out to their VA health care provider to get one scheduled.”
The VA recommends regular breast cancer screenings for women 45 and older.
