TFTN: Get A Mammogram
That’s pathetic. More than a one-third of Idaho women over 40 didn’t receive a breast cancer screening in the past two years, making Idaho last out of 50 states and the District of Columbia in mammogram rates. The Cancer Data Registry of Idaho estimates that there are more than 122,000 Idaho women over the age of 40 — that’s equivalent to the population of Twin Falls, Jerome and Cassia counties combined — who haven’t had a mammogram in the past 24 months. ... Idaho’s low mammogram rate is inexcusable/Steve Crump, Twin Falls Times-News. Full editorial here.
