Welcome to "Girl Talk"
Your Resource for Breast Health Information in the Mid-Ohio Valley.

One in eight women will get breast cancer in their lifetime and our risk increases as we age. Although those numbers may sound frightening, research reveals that the mortality rate could decrease by 30 percent if all women age 50 and older in need of a mammogram had one. Additionally, if detected early, breast cancer has a five-year survival rate of over 95 percent. And, while breast cancer is sometimes found after symptoms appear,many women with early breast cancer have no symptoms of the disease. Because early detection is important, the Memorial Health System is working to elevate awareness of the signs, symptoms and screening options available in our community. To schedule your mammogram call (740) 374-1595.
