This October, as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center (CBMC) and the RWJBarnabas Health Ambulatory Care Center (ACC) are once again partnering with The Mall at Short Hills to raise awareness for breast health.
“When asked why I hadn’t gone for my mammogram, I replied because I felt healthy. Through this process, I soon learnt not to take my health for granted,” shares seven-year breast cancer survivor Shirley Ann Paul. “Even if you feel healthy, it is important to adhere to preventative care and screenings.”
Shirley Ann is just one of the inspiring breast cancer survivors featured in the Investing in Cancer Care display, located in Grand Court and throughout The Mall at Short Hills through October 30, 2024. The display highlights the powerful stories of women who received their care at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center and reinforces the partnership with Rutgers Cancer Institute — the state’s only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. In addition, visit the more than 40 partner stores who will be prominently displaying a reminder for women to get their mammogram.
The display also includes information about the brand-new Melchiorre Cancer Center at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center. Opening in 2025, the freestanding Cancer Center will bring together a world-class multidisciplinary team, providing close-to-home access to the latest treatments and clinical trials. The new five-story building, encompassing approximately 137,000 square feet, will serve as the northern hub for the integrated oncology services offered by RWJBarnabas Health and Rutgers Cancer Institute.
Early detection is crucial for breast cancer and can improve a woman’s overall prognosis. Breast health is too important to wait. Visit www.rwjbh.org/mammo to schedule a mammogram at the newly renovated Breast Center at the RWJBarnabas Health Ambulatory Care Center in Livingston, NJ. The Breast Center includes a dedicated breast MRI, 3-D Mammography and a redesigned registration area with more privacy and improved efficiency. Providing care to more than 50,000 patients each year, breast health services include screening and diagnostic procedures for detecting breast cancer and pinpointing other suspicious areas in the breast.
