Accessibility Statement

We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience. To do so, we are actively working with consultants to update the website by increasing its accessibility and usability by persons who use assistive technologies such as automated tools, keyboard-only navigation, and screen readers.

We are working to have the website conform to the relevant standards of the Section 508 Web Accessibility Standards developed by the United States Access Board, as well as the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. These standards and guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. We believe that conformance with these standards and guidelines will help make the website more user friendly for all people.

Our efforts are ongoing. While we strive to have the website adhere to these guidelines and standards, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website. If, at any time, you have specific questions or concerns about the accessibility of any particular webpage, please contact WebsiteAccess@tenethealth.com so that we may be of assistance.

Thank you. We hope you enjoy using our website.

Breast Cancer

Early detection saves lives.

Breast cancer is one of the most common causes of death for women in the United States. Leading risk factors including advanced age and family history may increase the likelihood of its occurrence. Each year, around 200,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed.

If you are a woman over 40 years old, you should get screening mammograms every year. Breast cancer can occur at any age, but it is more likely to occur after age 40. The earlier the diagnosis, the better your chance for survival.
