| Did you know that one in eight women will get breast cancer and about 2,200 men in the U.S. are diagnosed with breast cancer each year?1 Or that two in three women with full insurance don’t receive an annual mammogram?2 “I see the lack of mammography screenings within GE Appliances, as among other employers, and that’s concerning,” says Derek Mydlarz, Executive Director, Global Medical. “We know early detection saves lives. We need to increase the support for female employees and offer a less invasive service.” Introducing Bexa, soon available at Appliance Park for one week. This new type of breast screening is: Painless: No squeeze. The sensor is moved gently over the surface of the breast and underarm. Quick: About 15 minutes. No radiation: Safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Immediate: Results are provided at the end of the exam. |
