Sheryl Crow Opens Breast Cancer Center
Singer Sheryl Crow, 48, is helping to make strides in breast cancer detection. Tuesday, the Sheryl Crow Imaging Center held it’s grand opening in Los Angeles. The center features state-of-the-art digital screening and diagnostic technologies for cancer detection.
The new facility is part of the Pink Lotus Breast Center, the country’s first center dedicated primarily to preventing, detecting, and treating the disease. Crow, who is currently cancer free, fought breast cancer herself after it was detected during a routine mammogram in 2006. The founder of the Pink Lotus Breast Center, Dr. Kristi Funk, performed Crow’s surgery.
Sheryl said in a statement:
“Joining forces with the Pink Lotus Breast Center has provided me with a wonderful platform to create awareness and encourage the millions of American women over 40 to get their annual mammogram. Detecting breast cancer early is a woman’s best chance at survival, and digital full-field mammography is the gold standard of early detection.”
What a wonderful thing to do for women. Thank you, Sheryl!
