For The Man Who Forgot Valentine’s Day
(Or for The Man Who Just Wants Something Special for His Sweetie)
Valentine’s Day has come and gone but in a burst of romantic emotion, the Valley Radiology has extended its “the gift of life” for the rest of February.
Instead of a dozen long stemmed roses or an expensive box of chocolates, the women’s imaging specialists at Valley Radiology Consultants hope, this year, women in North County San Diego will receive a life-saving screening mammogram. While it was designed as an alternative gift for Valentine’s Day, the idea proved so popular they are extending through all of February.
Early diagnosis saves lives and a mammogram is the gold standard when screening for the disease. During the month of February, Valley Radiology Consultants is offering gift certificates for the “Gift of Life” - a screening mammogram. Priced at only $75.00 (normally $175.00). The physicians hope this will help people with either early diagnosis, or to have that wonderful feeling that all is well.
The gift certificates are available at Valley Radiology’s two outpatient imaging centers offering women’s imaging services – Gateway Radiology in Poway and Parkway Radiology in Escondido. Women who bring in this article or one of Valley’s “Gift of Life” ads during the month of February can also receive the special rate. The discount is for cash paying patients only and may not be applied to private or governmental insurance coverage.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women today (after lung cancer) and is the most common cancer among women, excluding non-melanoma skin cancers.
One in 68 women in their forties is at risk of developing breast cancer. The risk increases to one in 37 for women in their fifties. Valley Radiology Consultants offers a full spectrum of state-of-the-art tools to ensure the highest quality of women’s health screening and diagnosis. Please call Gateway Radiology in Poway (858) 485-6500 or Parkway Radiology in Escondido (760) 739-5400.
