Please note the change in date for this event. The kick off date for the Right to Know campaign in Hamilton is now January 17th, 2011 at 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM at 401 N 1st St ( Empty Building next to Gas and Grub). Hamilton partners Summit Independent Living Center, the Relay for Life, and the Montana Disability and Health Program will be holding the kick off for the Relay for Life, and for Montana’s media show “Every Woman Matters” in conjunction with CDC’s Right To Know campaign. The exhibit features portraits and stories of 12 women with disabilities from the state of Montana, some of which are breast cancer survivors, all of which are advocates. There will also be resources available to help you and your health care provider make the best of your mammogram experience as a woman with a disability. The event will be held in the Marcus Daily Memorial Hospital conference room. Take the time to know the facts about breast cancer and why you need to make screening a regular part of your health care.

If you would like more information, please contact: Mary Millin at 363-5242 or Deena Boyd at 363-3521
