Buddy Check 12
Everyone knows if you detect breast cancer early, your odds of beating it are better than 90 percent so it makes sense to do self exams. Over a decade ago, First Coast News' Jeannie Blaylock partnered with Baptist Health to create Buddy Check 12 -- designed to promote monthly breast self-examinations and to educate women on the importance of early detection. Watch Jeannie's Buddy Check 12 reports every 12th of the month on First Coast News and remind a buddy to self-check for breast cancer. Call (904)202-CARE to our partner, Baptist Health, and we'll mail you the Buddy Check 12 kits with stickers for free. Visit the Buddy Check 12 section for the latest survivor stories.
M-Line
First Coast News partnered with the local non-profit Susan G. Komen Foundation to raise Buddy Bucks to make sure every woman on the First Coast gets a mammogram, even if she can't afford one or she doesn't know where to turn. (They're the Race for the Cure folks.) The money will pay for the hotline and, the more funds we get, the more free mammograms we can offer through Komen grants to local facilities. Trained professionals at Komen will man the hotline to guide women to existing free mammogram programs and, if cancer is found, to surgery and treatment programs for the underserved. We will follow the women to make sure they get help.
Call the M-Line at 1-877-9-MY-MAMO. Compassionate, experienced healthcare Representatives are available to connect you with the information you need 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Each caller will receive either a follow-up call, or will be provided with referral information based on specific needs. Rest assured that all information remains confidential.
