Eagle Mountain City is showing its support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a series of initiatives designed to raise awareness and promote early detection.

Throughout October, residents and visitors can see pink pinwheels displayed outside Eagle Mountain City Hall, a symbol recognizing those affected by breast cancer. City Hall itself has also been illuminated in pink to honor survivors and those still battling the disease.

“Breast cancer touches so many lives, and it’s important to come together as a community to support one another,”  says Dawn Hancock, events manager with Eagle Mountain City. “Through these initiatives, we hope to not only raise awareness but also encourage conversations about early detection and prevention, which can save lives.”

In addition to these visual displays, Eagle Mountain is taking direct action by providing an important health service to the community.

On Oct. 14 and 15, the City will host a Mobile Mammography event, offering convenient access to life-saving screenings. The event emphasizes the importance of early detection in the fight against breast cancer.

“Increasing access to early detection tools like mammograms is crucial in the fight against breast cancer,” says Hancock. “By bringing these services directly to our community, we hope to make it easier for residents to prioritize their health and catch potential issues early when treatment is most effective.”

The mobile mammography unit will be available at City Hall, providing the latest in breast cancer screening technology.

Residents are encouraged to book appointments in advance to take advantage of this essential service.

Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers in women, and early detection through routine screening can significantly improve health outcomes.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month serves as a reminder to prioritize health, encourage early detection and support those impacted by this devastating disease.

“Breast Cancer Awareness Month is not only about raising awareness but also about empowering individuals to take proactive steps for their health,” says Hancock.
