The Tennessee Titans are supporting the NFL and the American Cancer Society in recognizing Tues., Oct. 13, as ‘A Crucial Catch Day,’ a nationwide event in cities across the country acknowledging the day for breast cancer education and screenings.
The Titans are advocating this life-saving initiative by turning Nissan Stadium ‘Pink’ now through Saturday, Oct 10, 5 pm until 11 pm. Saint Thomas Health, the Titans’ official healthcare provider, is partnering with the team to help raise awareness of the importance of early detections screenings in women and men.
“The Mobile Mamm-ography Coach screened its 10,000th patient this month serving women in our community and providing potentially life-saving screenings to vulnerable populations,” said Lori Ward, program coordinator of the Our Mission in Motion mobile mammography coach. “The lack of mammography services in these areas and the uninsured or underinsured populations account for higher instances of non-compliance in screening mammography and higher death rates from breast cancer and late stage detection.
Saint Thomas Health’s Mobile Mammography Coach, Our Mission in Motion, will be providing screenings during the month of October and November at the following locations:
