Wear a Mask, Wash your<br />
Hands, Schedule a Mammogram.<br />
When the COVID -19 pandemic<br />
began in 2020, many<br />
women were forced to cancel<br />
important mammogram and<br />
breast screening appointments.<br />
It is now important to reschedule<br />
those appointments and take<br />
care of health needs. At Salem<br />
Hospital, we offer state-of-theart<br />
screening technology and<br />
easy access to appointments to<br />
help women stay healthy.<br />
Your Role<br />
Beginning at the age of 40,<br />
women should schedule an annual<br />
mammogram appointment.<br />
A mammogram is the single<br />
most effective method for detecting<br />
breast cancer early.<br />
Monthly self-breast exams<br />
are also important. Women<br />
should be familiar with how<br />
their breasts normally look<br />
and feel and should report any<br />
changes to a health care provider<br />
right away.<br />
Our Role<br />
We provide you with a full<br />
spectrum of exceptional breast<br />
health care and support in a<br />
convenient and patient-focused<br />
manner.<br />
Salem Hospital offers 3-D<br />
mammography, an advanced<br />
technology that enables our<br />
breast health experts to examine<br />
changes in the breast that may<br />
go unnoticed by other methods,<br />
leading to better detection and<br />
greater peace of mind.<br />
If your mammogram detects<br />
abnormalities, we’re here for<br />
you. Most of these abnormalities<br />
are non-cancerous, and our<br />
physicians can provide additional<br />
testing to learn more. We’ll<br />
keep you informed every step of<br />
the way and will work with you<br />
to develop a personalized treatment<br />
plan if needed.<br />
Because a mammogram is<br />
important to detecting breast<br />
cancer, we’ve made it easy and<br />
convenient for you to schedule<br />
an appointment. We offer<br />
mammography in six locations<br />
throughout the North Shore,<br />
many offering evening and<br />
weekend hours.<br />
With our safe care commitment,<br />
you can visit our facilities<br />
with confidence knowing that<br />
our staff is doing everything possible<br />
to keep you safe while receiving<br />
this important care. This<br />
includes staff vaccinated for<br />
COVID-19, universal masking<br />
for all staff and patients, social<br />
distancing, rigorous cleaning<br />
and increased safety protocols.<br />

Salem Hospital collaborates<br />
closely with the Breast Health<br />
program at the Mass General/<br />
North Shore Cancer Center in<br />
Danvers to provide patients with<br />
the most advanced care.<br />
To support our patients who<br />
may need additional imaging<br />
or biopsy, we offer our Breast<br />
Health Navigator service. Our<br />
navigator is a radiology technologist<br />
certified in breast health<br />
navigation, who is here to make<br />
your treatment experience easier.<br />
Working as a liaison between<br />
you and your physician, your<br />
navigator will walk you through<br />
your treatment options, provide<br />
support during treatment and answer<br />
any questions, so you feel<br />
informed and in control throughout<br />
your journey.<br />
Women may have an increased<br />
risk of developing breast<br />
or other cancers based on personal<br />
and family history and early<br />
detection of this increased risk<br />
can be life-saving.<br />

IT’S YOUR<br />
superpower!<br />

THE MONTH OF OCTOBER*<br />

My MANE Cause is to help those fighting cancer find a wig that they love!<br />
When facing the challenge of a lifetime, worrying about your hair shouldn’t be a thought. Finding the right wig<br />
can make you feel confident, empowered, and ready to take on anything! I want to help break any negative stigma<br />
associated with wearing a wig. Every person should feel comfortable wearing a wig as an alternative to their<br />
natural hair, no matter what the reason. This October, I invite you to purchase a wig, participate in The Pink<br />
Strand Project, or make a donation to raise money and awareness for those fighting cancer. Wigs are my<br />
superpower–they make me feel confident, and I want you to feel the same way.<br />
All donations and proceeds go to heapsofhope.org—an organization that provides<br />
financial support to the women fighting cancer in our community.<br />
