DANVILLE — With the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month less than a week away, Christie Clinic at The Riverfront is trying to improve the availability of mammograms in Vermilion County.
The facility at 108 Robinson St. in Danville began offering the exams after Labor Day.
Clinical Services Manager Tara Hafner, who spoke at a recent Step Up community group meeting, said the effort has been 15 years in the making for her.
“It’s near and dear to my heart,” she said. “My background is originally, I started as an X-ray tech, became a stenographer and then won the battle with breast cancer two years ago.”
She said mammography long has been a need in the community.
