The Grammy-Award winning singer-songwriter and breast cancer survivor has been all over the news as she opens a state-of-the-art center in Los Angeles. It’s a good reminder for women everywhere: what can we do to stay on top of breast-cancer safety?

The Sheryl Crow Imaging Center is housed inside the Pink Lotus Breast Center, which is an integrative health center created exclusively for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Crow herself was diagnosed with breast cancer after a routine mammogram in 2006, and has been cancer-free since her treatment later that year. The star musician said she joined forces with Pink Lotus so she could “create awareness and encourage the millions of American women over 40 to get their annual mammogram. Detecting breast cancer early is a woman’s best chance at survival, and digital full-field mammography is the gold standard of early detection.”

She’s right on the money! The earlier you catch breast cancer, the better. And that’s why ZocDoc is encouraging the new way of thinking about breast health – it’s not just mammograms. It’s knowing the symptoms of breast cancer and minimizing your risk-factors, and it’s performing self-exams and following through with the right diagnostic treatments.
