“Be keen to screen” is the message the health unit is sending out to women across Haliburton County. They’re encouraging women to get screened for breast cancer. Elsie Azevedo Perry, a Registered Dietitian with the health unit says breast cancer affects one in nine women, meaning it’s important to get screened. The Ontario Breast Screening Program is free to average-risk women aged 50 and older who can book an appointment without a referral. For more information, go to HKPR.on.ca.
