Kaiser Permanente’s Federal Way Medical Center now offers screening mammograms, making it easier for patients to stay proactive about their breast health. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) individuals aged 40 to 74 at average risk for breast cancer should undergo a mammogram every two years, as early detection can make treatment more effective.
