Dr. Debra Houry emphasizes that screening mammograms can save lives, as 40,000 women die from breast cancer annually. However, only 65% of women aged 50-74 with multiple health-related social needs are up to date on mammograms.
Dr. Shadi Shakeri of UC Davis highlights efforts to address mammogram access issues through a Mammovan program, aiming to provide services to women in rural areas with limited transportation, where death rates from breast cancer, particularly among Black women and those with low incomes, remain high.
