On September 17 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., join us at Gunnison Valley Health’s main hospital lobby for "Check Your Chest: Navigating Your Screen Quest," a free event designed to guide you through the complexities of breast health and the screening options available at Gunnison Valley Health.

Our professionals will be on hand to provide insights into 3D Tomosynthesis mammography, Automated Breast Ultrasounds (ABUS) and Breast MRI. Learn about the key differences between these screening types and understand why specific screenings are recommended based on your individual needs. We’ll also clarify the difference between screening and diagnostic mammograms and discuss how breast density impacts your screening choices.

Take advantage of the opportunity to talk directly with our medical professionals and ask your specific questions. They will offer detailed insights into screening recommendations and the best practices that guide them. Radiologist Dr. William Graf will explain how tools like the Tyrer-Cuzick Score are used to make personalized recommendations and why these may change over time.
