WORKING AS ONE FOR THE SUCCESS OF ALL

Breast Cancer Awareness

In the United States, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Beginning at the age of 40, women should talk with their doctor about having an annual mammogram, especially if certain risk factors exist. Breast cancer is most treatable when found early, and routine screening is essential for early detection.

Please see programs below for Sarasota County employees on the District-provided Florida Blue medical plan.
