WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.– This month, customers at Panera Bread restaurants in Clemmons, Kernersville as well as two locations in Winston-Salem now have the ability to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar in support of the Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center Foundation’s efforts to improve community access to 3-D mammograms.
Money raised during the change roll-up campaign will go toward a brand new mobile mammography unit that will be equipped with 3-D technology and allows the Novant Health Breast Center to expand community mammography services in the Triad. 3-D technology increases chances of finding a small cancerous lesion by 41 percent over previous 2-D technology.
“Early detection and prevention are keys to beating breast cancer,” said Heather Egan, a development officer with the Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center Foundation. “This is a way the whole community can share excitement by helping more women have access to mammograms.”
The current campaign is with Panera Bread’s largest franchisee Covelli Enterprises and lasts through Feb. 28. Novant Health is the first health system in Winston-Salem to offer 3-D technology on a mobile unit.
