AV on Health: Breast Health

It's the smallest of the seven major cities in Hampton Roads, but sadly Portsmouth has the highest breast cancer mortality rate in Virginia. Socioeconomic and racial disparities, lack of transportation, and lack of insurance all impact the ability of many women in this city to receive lifesaving screenings and medical care. In fact, until recently, there was no place in Portsmouth for women to go to get a mammogram! We talk about one local healthcare system that has stepped in to fill the gap - the Bon Secours Portsmouth Women's Imaging Center - and how its work is making a difference in saving women's lives.
