Share the Care

Friends Ask Friends to Get Mammograms

Dignity Health Yavapai Regional Medical Center (YRMC) created Share the Care as a community-wide program to support good breast health practices and to increase access to breast care. Our goal? To reduce the incidence of breast cancer in western Yavapai County.
