IN OBSERVANCE of World Cancer Day, TAMC, ACAP and Daigle Oil Co. partnered to bring awareness to the importance of having mammograms. Each person who received a mammogram at TAMC Feb. 4 received a $20 CITGO gas card, half of which ACAP purchased with grant monies it received through its Healthy Aroostook program, and the other half of which came in the form of matching funds courtesy of DOC. Lana McNamee, RT (R)(M), TAMC’s lead mammographer, said she hoped the gas cards would be just enough incentive “for a woman to get that mammogram they may have put off due to lack of travel funds.” Pictured are, from left: ACAP Community Education Specialist Jo-Ellen Kelley, Sonya Dechene LeBoeuf, marketing manager at DOC; Carrie Winslow, mammography patient and breast cancer survivor; and McNamee.
