OSF St. Anthony’s Health Center mammography coordinator Christine Tepen and breast health navigator Heather Thompson discuss breast cancer screening, early detection and support for patients. They explain the role of screening mammograms, describe risk factors including age and family history, and encourage people with questions or concerns to contact a health provider. They also discuss the Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention Program, which may help eligible patients with screening and follow-up care costs.
The interview promotes OSF St. Anthony’s upcoming Mocktails and Mammogram Night, with mammogram appointments and other health screenings planned at the hospital. Mammograms are billed to insurance; the guests say Madison County Health Department staff can help people explore available assistance. They also mention a separate public Lunch and Learn about breast cancer with OSF oncologist Dr. Manpreet Sandhu.
