Breast Cancer Awareness Month
For years, community support has helped bring vital breast health technology and resources to NHH. This October, we’re raising funds to modernize our breast health program with a new 3D mammography, advanced ultrasound, bone density scanning, and wire-free localization technology. Learn more about key investments to be made here.
 

Together, we can bring the benefits of new technology to those who depend on our hospital, while supporting earlier detection and improved comfort for patients like Summer.

“When you donate to NHH, you may never know exactly whose life your donation touches, but there is a very good chance it will eventually be someone you know,” shares Summer. “Donations aren’t just buying equipment. They’re helping give people answers. They’re helping shorten the distance between uncertainty and diagnosis. And they’re helping healthcare professionals provide the kind of care they want to provide.”
