Get out your glue-guns and bring along as many embellishments as you can, because Thursday, August 12 from 5:30 – 7:30pm we’re having a bra embellishing party here at CCAA. The embellished bras will be part of BRAvo…art heals, our fun, uplifting art bra exhibition and Gala supporting breast cancer awareness. The exhibition will feature art bras made by celebrities, professional artists, athletes, creative would-be artists, and young people. Most bras in the show will be for sale or auction. Cost is $20 to enter a bra / $10 if you are under 15. All proceeds go to Cuddle My Kids, a local cancer-related charity, and to CCAA. Click here for full information about the BRAvo exhibition or call 610/696-5600 x12. If possible, please bring a new bra to embellish; we do have some extras here. Also note: we’ve extended the deadline to submit art bras to Friday, September 17. |

Women’s Health Lecture Series – Breast Cancer Awareness
October 6, 2009Accelerated Diagnostic Breast Evaluation at The Chester County Hospital
October 1, 2009Accelerated Diagnostic Breast Evaluation – Questionable Lump. Unquestionable Service.
A suspicious lump can create worry. In an effort to be responsive and reassuring to patients, the Chester County Hospital’s Radiology Department has established a rapid appointment program, where patients who notice a lump at home can call the urgent appointments line: at 610.431.2611 and be scheduled for an appointment quickly.
After your primary care physician or gynecologist has seen you and performed a physical exam, call the Radiology Department and you can be seen within 24 hours. Urgent appointments for diagnostic mammograms are held aside each day for these types of requests. Patients will need to bring with them a prescription for the mammogram from their physician. Once at the Women’s Imaging Center, the patient will have the benefit of our digital technology, results that will be read immediately, our Breast Care Coordinator’s assistance, and the new spectrum of services offered at the Women’s Specialty Center.
To help prevent cancer, women are encouraged to do monthly self-breast exams as a first line of defense. According to the National Cancer Institute, there were 182,460 new cases of breast cancer in 2008 nationwide. The Hospital’s Cancer Data Center reports that there were 226 new cases of breast cancer diagnosed by its Cancer Program.
