STEUBENVILLE — The lobby of Trinity Medical Center East was awash with the color pink Friday for Trinity Health System’s Faith Over Fear Pop-In event promoting breast cancer prevention.

“Today is National Mammography Day, so this is our way of reminding women in the community to take care of themselves,” Laurie Labishak, Trinity’s marketing director, said, adding later: “It’s all free for the women — just our way of saying ‘thank you’ and reminding them to take care of themselves because prevention is key. If you catch breast cancer early, it is truly curable.”

Event attendees could speak with staff from Trinity East’s Images Mammography Center, which provides screening and diagnostic mammograms, ultrasounds and biopsy procedures. Images’ Patient Navigator Kayla Beaver gave away free gifts and advised women on how they can monitor their own breast health.

“My advice is always to become familiar with your own breasts,” Beaver said. “Do your own breast self-exams and know what your breasts feel like. Tell someone if something feels different. Call your provider and let them know you’re having issues. Of course, keep up with your screening mammograms and don’t wait.”

STEUBENVILLE Ohio (WTRF) — Trinity Health Systems hosts their Faith Over Fear Pop-In Event for women throughout the community.

This perfect pink party is all about pampering and prevention. It includes an array of activities like manicures, massages, prizes and more.

Marketing director Laurie Labishak says this event invites women to feel special while learning about breast cancer detection.

“Today is national mammography day, we want to encourage women to schedule their mammography so they can get early detection. Any time we can bring women together and talk about health and preventing things that will affect us later in life, we want to do that.”–Laurie Labishak, Marketing Director, Trinity Health System
