In the News: Mammograms The St. Cloud Hospital Breast Center will continue to follow guidelines we have followed in the past. We recommend women have an annual mammogram starting at age 40, and we encourage women to do breast self-exams.

Nov. 18, 2009: Statement by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius
“My message to women is simple. Mammograms have always been an important life-saving tool in the fight against breast cancer and they still are today. Keep doing what you have been doing for years -- talk to your doctor about your individual history, ask questions, and make the decision that is right for you."
