Early Detection, Breast Cancer Cure Idaho continuously ranks low for mammograms. Early detection and removal is currently the cure for breast cancer. Mammograms can detect breast cancer early. We had the opportunity to support and recognize dozens of breast cancer survivors in our service area. In one of the cities, we encouraged a lady with a lump to schedule her mammogram. To remind women to schedule their mammograms, we shared 2500 breakfasts in 3 counties, 4 cities: Rexburg, St. Anthony, Rigby, and Ashton. We also made 4 gift baskets for the locations. Most importantly, we were able to make a difference about breast cancer awareness in our community. We loved hearing about your breast cancer survival stories and to see how many of you were willing to remind your friends about getting their mammograms done. According to the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, Idaho ranks 50th in the country in cancer...
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and here at Madison Memorial, we’re celebrating with our event: Brake for Breakfast. This event is held to remind women to get their annual mammograms and remind everyone about the importance of maintaining breast health. As the saying goes, early detection is the best protection. Idaho ranks 50th among states in the U.S. for breast cancer screening. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women. In fact, 1 in 8 women will struggle with it during their lifetime. Early detection, most likely found with mammograms, has a 99% survival rate. Nonetheless, cancer has recently replaced cardiovascular disease as the leading cause of death in Idaho, which is directly linked to poor mammogram rates. For nearly 15 years, we have organized Brake for Breakfast serving about 1500 individuals in Rexburg. Starting this year, we would like to more than double our awareness efforts to...
Idaho PREPAREdness Expo – September 15, 2018, 10am-3pm – Rigby High School Situations can strike at unpredicted moments and may leave us stranded, unprepared, and fearful. Preparing ahead of time can give you a leg up when disaster finds you. Because there is no exact formula to follow for emergency preparedness, it can be difficult to know specifically how to prepare. How much food should you have per person? What gear should you stock up? How should you handle pets or other specific needs? How can my children be prepared? Which supplies may not be as helpful as they seem? Idaho PREPAREdness Expo can answer these questions and give more advice on emergency preparedness. The event is hosted at Rigby High School on September 15th from 10am to 3pm. Presenters from all areas of emergency preparedness will be there to show their tips and tricks for surviving extreme situations. These experts have the experience...

We had an exciting week in the Lab at Madison Memorial Hospital, as we celebrated Medical Laboratory Professionals Week. We kicked off the week by joining with The American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science, Virtual 5k. We gathered on the track Madison Jr. High on Monday night to walk and run our 5k… in Lab coats of course. We had lab games going all week long- “Guess how many Pedi Tube in the beaker”, “What did the doctor order” and Chair races in the hall. We have some very fast and serious competitors in the Lab. “The best dressed tube” and “Find the Golden Tube” were games shared with the whole hospital. Jeneal and Cherie created a cute poster that was placed by the pneumatic tube systems throughout the hospital demonstrating how the analyzer would like the patient labels applied to blood tubes. Every day we hid several special gold blood...
Idaho lags behind almost every state for women receiving their mammograms. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women, with one in 8 struggling with it during their lifetime.

Starting this year we would like to more than double our awareness efforts to save more women’s lives through screenings.
