The Latest in Breast Health Screenings

Recommendations for breast cancer screenings are updated frequently and it is important to have the latest information.
Valerie Maldonado, Director of Health Care Services at University Health, says health experts recommend all women have the first annual mammogram at age 40. Younger women should talk with their doctors to determine whether they have risk factors that indicate they should be screened before age 40. She explains why University Health is following new guidelines to provide women with information about the density of their breasts.
