Local sorority holds mobile mammogram testing for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
The Phi Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, has been serving the Winston-Salem community for 97 years. What better way to serve our community during Breast Cancer Awareness Month than to bring state of the art 3D digital mammography with an expert team of technologists to the African American community.
Phi Omega Chapter and its women’s health and wellness committee are aware of the need for African American women to receive regular mammograms and that early detection saves lives. On Thursday, Oct. 15, they coordinated with Novant Health to bring the Novant Mobile Cruiser to the Ivy Arms apartment complex on East 2nd Street to provide on-site 3D mammograms.
Members of the Phi Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated spent the afternoon providing refreshments and words of encouragement to the women and their families who signed up and received their on-site 3D mammograms. We appreciate all those who came to the testing and encourage women to get their annual mammogram completed.
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated and Phi Omega Chapter continue to embody one of the missions of its founders, which is to be of “Service to All Mankind.”
