September 22, 2025 – CONCORDIA, Kan. — The North Central Kansas Medical Center Radiology Department is inviting the community to join its annual Pink Out on Friday, October 3, in recognition of national Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The department encourages the community to wear pink and share their photos on social media with the hashtag #nckpinkout to show support for breast cancer awareness.

The American Cancer Society estimates 1 in 8 women in the United States will face a breast cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. However, breast cancer caught early is often highly curable. To screen for the disease, health officials recommend women begin regularly using mammography at age 40.

“Screenings are one of the most important tools we have in the fight against breast cancer,” said Ashley Lamb, NCK Medical Center mammography tech. “Early detection through mammography can save lives, and we encourage every eligible woman to make her health a priority this month.”

For more information, or to schedule a mammogram, call NCK Medical Center at 785-243-1234.
