BAXTER REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER WILL PROVIDE NORTH CENTRAL ARKANSAS SCHOOLS WITH A SCHEDULED, “TELL YOUR MOM, SAVE A LIFE” OUTREACH PROGRAM. BRMC EMPLOYEES WILL PRESENT THE PROGRAMS AND DISTRIBUTE BROCHURES AND PRINTED INFORMATION DURING THE LATE FALL AND SPRING SEMESTERS. FOLLOWING EACH SCHOOL PROGRAM, THE TARGET AND CENTRAL FOCUS WILL BE TO HELP ALL SENIOR FEMALE STUDENTS AND FEMALE FACULTY BECOME FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ADVOCATES FOR GOOD HEALTH AND THE THREE IMPORTANT STEPS FOR BREAST CARE. IN THE SCHOOL CULTURE, TEACHERS CAN HAVE THE STRONGEST LEADERSHIP ROLE, ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR ENDORSEMENT OF THE PROGRAM AND SUPPORT OF THE MOBILE MAMMOGRAPHY UNIT. EQUALLY IMPORTANT, THE SENIOR STUDENTS WILL TRANSITION INTO ADULT LIFE WITH RAISED AWARENESS FOR THEIR OWN BREAST HEALTH AND CANCER SCREENINGS AS THEY BECOME FAMILY AND COMMUNITY ADVOCATES.
