Riverton Hospital and International Scrapbook Company Stampin’ Up! Partner to “Stamp Out Breast Cancer”

“Stamp Out Breast Cancer” will feature education from Riverton Hospital experts, crafting with Stampin’ Up representatives, and special guest speaker, KUTV 2 News Anchor and breast cancer survivor, Mary Nickles who will share her story about receiving her breast cancer diagnosis for a story.

In the United States, one in eight women will eventually develop the disease. 

Although thousands of women die each year of breast cancer, increasing numbers are surviving. Much of this improvement is attributable to screening mammography. 

“A mammogram performed at the hospital should be every woman’s goal for early detection,” says John L. Clayton, MD, plastic surgeon (specializing in breast reconstruction) at Riverton Hospital. “Annual screenings after the age of 40 saves women’s lives.”
