A new online tool, Breast
Screening Decisions, has been made available to assist average risk women
40-49 in deciding whether a screening mammogram is right for them.
The tool gives women in their 40s an individual breast cancer
risk assessment and then uses easy-to-understand infographics to show what is
likely to happen across a population of similar-risk women. The decision aid is
not meant to drive women toward or away from mammography, but to help them make
an informed decision. The tool is based on the data the USPSTF used to develop
their 2009 recommendations. You can read more about this tool in a NPR article.
Ford has partnered with Lyft, a peer-to-peer ridesharing program, on an initiative that will allow anyone in Lyft’s 60 US markets to request a free ride to and/or from breast cancer treatment. Patients that would like to request a ride can visit lyft.com/moregooddays and click “get a ride” or “give a ride." Please share this information with your local communities and help Ford reach its goal of 10,000 rides!
