Did you know that Idaho ranks 50th in the nation for the number of women receiving their yearly mammograms? This is not a ranking to be proud of, especially considering that 1 in 8 women will receive breast cancer at some point in their lifetime.
That’s why the staff at Idadiv didn’t think twice when asked to participate in the PINK PLEDGE, sponsored by the Idaho Press Tribune and Saint Alphonsus Medical Center, Nampa.
If you’ve been by the Nampa branch today, you more than likely saw the pink ribbons on the trees and the ribbon balloons on the walkway. Our readerboard also shows we took the pledge and our staff are all sporting our pink today all in an effort to increase awareness of breast cancer prevention in Idaho!

Don’t forget, if you are uninsured or underinsured, you may qualify for a free mammogram through the Snake River Stampede’s “Stampede for the Cure” endowment fund. For more information about this program, please contact Idadiv and we’ll get you in touch with the right people.
