Breaking barriers in healthcare: Intermountain Health St. James Hospital in Butte is bringing life-saving breast cancer screenings directly to incarcerated women in Montana with its Mobile Mammography Unit. "It is part of our mission to ensure that all women have access to screening for breast cancer because we know that early detection saves lives," said Jerri Doyle, director of Oncology Services at St. James Hospital. “Seeing other people do it encourages other women to get their mammogram,” said Sandi Cantrell, an inmate at Riverside Women’s Correctional Facility in Boulder. “Cancer shows no prejudice – it's out for all of us, and I am very blessed that they bring this care directly to us." Read how this innovative outreach is making a difference.
