Empowering Women’s Health: Breast Cancer Awareness and Early Detection at Monadnock Community Hospital
Celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Knowledge, Support, and Hope
Empowering Women’s Health: Breast Cancer Awareness Month at Monadnock Community Hospital
October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a crucial time for education and action in breast cancer awareness and early detection. At Monadnock Community Hospital’s Women’s Imaging Center, we’re dedicated to empowering our community through knowledge, prevention, and state-of-the-art screening services.
The Power of Early Detection
Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent cancers affecting women. 1 in 8 women in the US will develop breast cancer in their lifetime [1]. However, thanks to advancements in medical technology and increased breast cancer awareness and early detection, survival rates are higher than ever before. The key to these success stories? Early detection.
- Mammograms can detect breast cancer up to two years before it becomes palpable
- Regular screenings increase the chances of catching cancer at its most treatable stages
- Early-stage breast cancer has a 5-year survival rate of 99% [2]
Our Commitment to You
At Monadnock Community Hospital, we’re committed to providing:
- Cutting-edge Technology: Our 3D mammography offers clearer images and improved detection rates

Beyond October: Year-Round Health
While October shines a spotlight on breast cancer awareness, women’s health is a year-round priority. Remember:
