https:\/\/jrmcnd.com\/no-excuses\/<\/a>. To schedule a mammogram for any other day, call JRMC Mammography at (701) 952-4852.<\/p>\nIn any given year, 30 percent of women over 40 in Stutsman County are not up to date on their mammograms. Knowing this, JRMC offered a special No Excuses day to its employees in 2018.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy calculating the age and gender of our 330 employees, we estimated that 39 of them were behind on their annual screenings,\u201d said Trisha Jungels, chief nursing officer. \u201cThis saddened us. These women have access to care. They have insurance. What they needed was support. So we gave it to them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last year, about 50 women participated in No Excuses. Of them, 26 were JRMC employees.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt shouldn\u2019t have surprised us that women who devote their careers to caring for others hadn\u2019t made time to care for themselves,\u201d Jungels said. \u201cWe\u2019re so glad, however, that they did. These screenings are important.\u201d<\/p>\n
One in eight women will receive a breast cancer diagnosis in her lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society. Catching it early can mean the difference between keeping the breast or needing surgery to remove it.<\/p>\n
Knowing that support and encouragement is often a barrier to care, JRMC and Central Valley are offering No Excuses days to special community groups, in addition to days for the general public.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are proud to care for the people who care for our young people. Like healthcare workers, educators and support staff often put other\u2019s first which delays getting care that helps them prevent and\/or treat cancer,\u201d said JRMC Radiology Manager Jason Schaffer.<\/p>\n
Based on national utilization data, 1,346 Stutsman County women over age 40 have not had their mammograms in two years. About 3,000 of them are behind on their cervical screenings.<\/p>\n
No Excuses isn\u2019t just for women who can\u2019t afford it. Busy moms, grandmothers and professionals are also worthy candidates.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you\u2019ve never had a mammogram, or it\u2019s been a long time, you are definitely the woman we are looking for,\u201d said Robin Iszler, registered nurse and unit administrator at Central Valley Health.<\/p>\n
