Hologic, Inc.

Meet Chelo Herrero, Service Contract Specialist in Spain, who has spent 35 years helping advance #WomensHealth at Hologic. Chelo joined the company as a secretary and advanced her career through roles in sales, operational management, technical administration and service. “I am truly proud to have contributed to improving the health and quality of life of so many women throughout my career. Because of our work, I always understood the importance of preventative screening. When I developed cancer myself, thankfully, it was detected early.” “What has allowed me to stay with the company for so many years is a combination of commitment, a sense of purpose and the opportunity to work alongside people who share similar values. I've felt my work had a real impact, and that has driven me to continue growing and contributing every day.” #WhyHologic #HologicAt40

We’re inspired by the courage and strength of women like Alexis Matera, who is sharing her story to help raise awareness of the importance of #mammograms and #earlydetection. Alexis, a wife and mom who lives in Worcester, Massachusetts, learned she had breast cancer after having her first mammogram at age 40. She is now on the path to recovery and is sharing her experience with others to empower and encourage other women to get screened.

A new article in SELF Magazine is drawing attention to the alarming rise in breast cancer rates among younger women. This trend highlights the need for women to know their personal risk factors and discuss screening with their doctors — even before age 40. Young people are more likely to face diagnostic delays for breast cancer, and they also tend to have "more aggressive forms of it, which often means larger tumor size or more advanced cancer stage when they get diagnosed,” said Dr. Amy K. Patel, MD, a breast radiologist and medical director of the Breast Care Center at Liberty Hospital in Kansas City.

#BreastCancer care continues long after active treatment and every patient’s needs are different. In Oncology Times, Adriana Olivo* shares her perspective as an advanced practice provider delivering follow-up care that helps patients manage long-term side effects, maintain quality of life and make informed decisions with tools like the Breast Cancer Index test. “We strive to provide comprehensive survivorship care—from managing endocrine therapy toxicities to addressing sexual health, body image and psychosocial needs—so our patients can thrive long after active treatment ends.” Read the full article linked below.

We were honored to participate in the United Nations General Assembly in New York, where Mia Keeys, DrPH, MA, Hologic’s Director of Global Health and Innovation, moderated a high-level roundtable: “Safeguarding Women’s Health from Current Threats: Partnerships + Innovation for Progress.” The event convened leaders from the Gates Foundation, UNICEF, WHO Foundation, and more to collectively assess progress on the Sustainable Development Goals. Together, they explored how public-private partnerships can be a critical part of the solution for advancing #WomensHealth globally, especially in low- and middle-income countries. From measuring the ROI of women’s health to sharing risk between sectors, we’re committed to driving progress through partnership and innovation. #UNGA80

This weekend, our team participated in the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in Boston! As a proud sponsor, we were honored to once again join this community and help #BustTheMyth about breast cancer and mammograms in support of early detection. 

Myths shouldn’t keep women from getting lifesaving mammograms. That’s why we started our #BustTheMyth campaign — to clear up confusion, share facts and support #EarlyDetection. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Lisa Rudnick, our VP of Marketing, talks about why education around breast cancer, mammograms and #WomensHealth matters. She shares how she encourages her daughter, and all women, to put their health first: “Don’t let myths or fear around healthcare choices hold you back. Take the time for yourself. Get your recommended screenings. And if you have questions, ask. There is no shame in wanting to understand your health, and it’s information that could save your life.” Learn more: https://ow.ly/FsC650X5cAn #BreastCancerAwareness
