In a
commitment to increase knowledge about early prevention and detection during
October’s Breast Cancer Awareness month, BODIES…The Exhibition at Luxor Hotel
and Casino is partnering with Nevada Health Centers on Wednesday, Oct. 23, to
provide visitors access to mammogram screenings. From 8:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.,
Nevada Health Centers’ certified medical staff will perform mammographies
inside the Mammovan at Luxor’s Purple
Lot.
The
Mammovan, operated by Nevada Health Centers, provides mobile mammogram services
to increase the number of people undergoing screenings. To schedule an
appointment and qualify for a mammogram screening, patients may call
877-581-6266 and specify the Luxor location. Walk-in appointments will be
available with open time slots permitting.
“Nevada
Health Centers is excited to partner with BODIES…The Exhibition to host the
Mammovan,” says Wendy Wood, Director of Operations for Nevada Health Centers
and the Mammovan. “Their support allows us to carry out our mission in
promoting early detection to save lives.”
To
further encourage prevention awareness, BODIES…The Exhibition will offer
complimentary audio tours to any guest who wears the color pink on Oct. 23.
Throughout the month, breast cancer facts will be on display, highlighting the
importance of seeking preventive care. The Exhibition will also commemorate the
installation of its first ever female specimen by illuminating the reproductive
room in pink lights. By providing powerful visuals, BODIES hopes to honor
individuals who have battled breast cancer and motivate guests to create
positive lifestyle changes that could help prevent the life-threatening
disease.
