What: During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Sparrow breast health experts are seeing a disturbing trend: more advanced cancer cases as people put off care during the pandemic. The physicians have an urgent message: Don’t put off your breast screening. A team of doctors from the Sparrow Herbert-Herman Cancer Center will discuss the situation, why it’s safe to come to the hospital, and the impact of delaying care. Interviews available with leading cancer doctors, plus b-roll of Cancer Center.
Where: Lobby of Sparrow Herbert-Herman Cancer Center, 1210 E. Michigan Ave., Lansing. A representative from Sparrow Marketing will meet reporters.
When: Tuesday, Oct. 13, noon.
Additional information: Any reporter or media wishing to attend the event should contact John Foren, Spokesperson, Media and Public Relations, at 517.364.8093 or 517.256.1743.
