PAs for Breast Cancer Awareness

Faculty and students from the PA program dressed in pink this week in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Did you know breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the U.S. other than skin cancers? About one in three new cancer diagnoses in women each year are breast cancer, and about one in eight women will get breast cancer during their lives. Please make time to have your appropriate screenings and encourage your loved ones to do the same.
