Updated recommendations help Montana Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program catch breast cancer early

The United States Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) recently updated their recommendations for breast cancer screenings. The updated guidance recommends starting screening mammograms at age 40 and continuing screening every other year through age 74. The Gallatin City-County Health Department helps eligible residents in Gallatin, Park, and Sweet Grass Counties access free, timely breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic treatment through the Montana Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program.
