Overview
At TidalHealth, we are embarking on an initiative to make a significant impact on healthcare in our community.
The decision to raise funds for a state-of-the-art mobile mammography stems from our unwavering commitment to address the alarming rise in breast cancer diagnoses on the Shore. The statistics paint a stark reality — the number of people being diagnosed with breast cancer has been steadily climbing, underscoring the urgent need for accessible and regular screenings.
Our mobile mammography will serve as a beacon of hope, bringing advanced screening technology and experienced medical professionals to the very doorstep of those who might otherwise face barriers in accessing essential preventative care. By taking these proactive measures, we aim to detect potential breast cancer cases at an earlier stage, ensuring timely intervention and ultimately saving lives.
Together, let’s drive change, promote awareness and empower our friends, families and neighbors to take control of their health journey. Your generous contributions will drive the success of this initiative and stand as a testament to our dedication to fighting breast cancer.
