Mammothon - No More Excuses

Screening Is Always in Season

LifeBridge Health recently wrapped up its 10th annual Mammothon. This two-week event makes it easy for women to get their annual screening mammogram in a comfortable, supportive setting. Nearly 300 women took part across our locations, and more than 50 had a mammogram for the very first time. We’re grateful to the patients and care teams that made this year especially meaningful.

*If you couldn’t make it, you can still put your breast health first. LifeBridge Health offers convenient mammogram appointments all year. Please call 410-601-9355 to schedule at the location that works best for you.

Why screenings matter

1 in 8 women will face breast cancer, but together we can fight for all 8.

Early detection is powerful. Regular mammograms save lives, helping women:

  • Detect breast cancer early when treatment is most effective.
  • Avoid more aggressive treatments and experience better outcomes.

The American Society of Breast Surgeons recommends:

  • Women over 25: Get a formal breast cancer risk assessment.
  • Women at average risk: Begin yearly mammograms at age 40.
  • Women at higher risk: Start screenings earlier, with supplemental imaging.
