USA Olympian Encourages Routine Mammograms During Breast Cancer Awareness Month

USA volleyball Olympian April Ross is teaming up with GE Healthcare Systems in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month to highlight the importance of routine mammograms in early detection of the disease. Ross joined “America’s Newsroom” on Tuesday, urging patients to make their appointments. 

“The biggest thing you can do for yourself and as part of your overall wellness routine, self-care is go get your mammogram,” Ross told co-host Dana Perino. “And there were up to 60 percent of people, especially last year with the pandemic, that didn’t go in and didn’t get their mammograms.”
