It is the ‪#‎Petaluma‬ Valley Hospital Foundation/Clover "We Believe in Sonoma County" radio campaign.
Did you know 1 out of 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Until there is a cure for cancer, early detection practices remain the most important means of detecting breast cancer and increasing survival rates. Breast Tomosynthesis, or 3D mammography is a revolutionary new screening and diagnostic tool designed for early breast cancer detection. The new 3D technology detects 40% more invasive cancers than traditional 2D, it can detect very small tumors at an earlier stage and it reduces the number of false positives by up to 15%, which reduces the number of unneeded biopsies. This spares women additional anxiety, lost productivity and possible extra radiation.


Through your philanthropy we can raise the needed dollars to purchase a new 3D Tomosynthesis Mammography system for Petaluma Valley Hospital (PVH) and help save lives. PVH will be the only facility in Southern Sonoma County that can provide the Petaluma community with the most technologically advanced care that they deserve. Give today through Petaluma Valley Hospital Foundation. Call Brett Shinn at (707) 778-2796.
