It is estimated that in 2022 there will be 288,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer diagnosed in women. Currently there are more than 3.8 million breast cancer fighters and survivors in the United States. Locals of course are among this statistic and Uintah Basin Healthcare, Urban Tulip Studios and Ooh LaLa & Friends invite all to “Admire The Survivors”, a campaign which will feature five local breast cancer survivors.
Stephanie Natani, Sue Hooley, Patty Long, Tonya Craven, and April Caldwell are each featured in
this year’s campaign to raise awareness for breast cancer. The purpose of this campaign is to both educate women on the importance of preventative screenings and to inspire other women to feel comfortable in their own skin.
While breast cancer can be found after symptoms appear, it is very common for many women to have it with no symptoms whatsoever. This is why regular breast cancer screenings including breast self-exams, clinical breast exams and mammograms are so important.
