McLaren Hospital in Port Huron is getting ready for the upcoming holiday season and observing October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month by announcing their plans for this year’s Festival of Trees.
This year’s Festival will be raising money for breast imaging services in the Demashkieh Women’s Wellness Place. The hospital is hoping to purchase the Hologic Upright Breast Biopsy Guidance system, which features 3D stereotactic biopsy capabilities.
The updated technology gives patients a better experience with enhanced imaging capabilities. The machine provides less x-ray exposure and less time under compression, which is welcome news for women who have undergone compression biopsies.
The Festival of Trees offers many levels of sponsorship and community members will be able to check out the ornately decorated trees in the South, North, and Karmanos lobbies of McLaren Port Huron Hospital. The annual fundraiser will be held on the main floor of the hospital in all of the public areas from Thanksgiving through the New Year.
