Did you know that Arkansas ranks 8th in breast cancer deaths in the US? The Foundation is working to change that! 3D Mammography is the most innovative and least invasive tool for early detection of breast cancer. In addition to bringing this technology on site to CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs, we are also equipping the CHI St. Vincent Mammo Bus with advanced mobile 3D mammography, making enhanced screenings accessible to women throughout central and southwest Arkansas.
