WICHITA FALLS, Texas (KAUZ) – Every October, we wear pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a topic that hits too close to home for many, especially since one in eight women will experience it.

Duncan Regional Hospital explains that new treatments bring hope and make the call for screenings more important than ever.

While the recommended age to start breast cancer screening is 40, DRH said the key is to do it every year so the radiologist has something to compare it to.

DRH imaging also does on-site genetic testing and provides breast MRIs and ultrasounds if needed. They even offer a nurse navigator who follows a patient through the process if diagnosed.

While DRH knows that getting a mammogram can be scary, they pride themselves on their level of care.
