“During the month of October, Avera is placing lots of focus on raising awareness about breast cancer. Early detection offers the best chance for a cure of this disease that will affect one in eight women during their lifetime. We encourage all women to have a conversation about breast health with their primary care provider and schedule regular mammograms once they reach age 40,” said Jason Jones, MD, Avera Medical Group breast medical oncologist.
