WHERE THE COASTAL HEALTH DISTRICT IS OFFERING FREE BREAST EXAMS AND MAMMOGRAMS TODAY. BUT THE QUESTION IS, HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU NEED TO GET CHECKED? FOR WOMEN 40 AND UP ... MAMMOGRAMS ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED ... BUT NEW STUDIES SHOW ... MANY WOMEN YOUNGER THAN 40 ... ARE BEING DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER. THAT'S WHY MEMORIAL HEALTH BREAST CANCER SURGEON ... WILLIAM BURAK TELLS ME ... WOMEN SHOULD START DOING REGULAR SELF- EXAMS ... AT 30. (WILLIAM BURAK, MEMORIAL HEALTH BREAST CANCER SURGEON) "IF SOMEONE HAS A STRONG FAMILY HISTORY WE ALWAYS SAY START YOUR IMAGING 10 YEARS BEFORE AT WHICH YOUR RELATIVE DEVELOPED BREAST CANCER. SO LET'S SAY YOU HAVE AN AUNT THAT DEVELOPED CANCER AT THE AGE OF 40, YOU HAVE TO START YOUR SCREENING, MAMMOGRAPHERY AT AGE 30." BURAK SAYS OVER THE YEARS BREAST CANCER TREATMENT HAS CHANGED AS TREATMENT HAS ADVANCED. AND SURVIVORS LIKE YVETTA LEE SAY ... WOMEN SHOULD NOT AVOID BEING SCREENED. (YVETTA LEE, BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR) DON'T BE AFRAID. IT TAKES NO MORE THAN 15 MINUTES. YOU'RE IN AND YOU'RE OUT. YOU'LL FEEL SO MUCH BETTER AFTER HAVING THAT DONE. JUST KNOWING YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH." IF YOU HAVE A REFERRAL YOU CAN GET AN APPOINTMENT HERE TODAY AT THE EFFINGHAM HEALTH DEPARTMENT ANYTIME BETWEEN 8 AND NOON. OR 1 TO 4. NIKIYA ... WHAT ABOUT WOMEN WHO CAN'T MAKE TODAY'S EVENT? EMMA ... THEY'RE ALSO OFFERING THE FREE EXAMS AT THE LIBERTY COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT. AND AT BOTH LOCATIONS AGAIN ON THE 12TH. YOU CAN ALSO CHECK WITH THE COASTAL HEALTH DISTRICT ANY TIME OF THE YEAR ... TO SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR ASSISTANCE. WE HAVE THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU ON OUR WEBSITE ... WJCL DOT COM.

AS WELL AS STATE REPRESENTATIVE RON STEPHENS AND HIS OPPONENT MARCUS THOMPSON. THOMPSON SAYS POVERTY, AND LACK OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN GUN VIOLENCE.
