A special educational event was hosted by the two organizations at Sun Nuclear Corporation headquarters in Melbourne, Florida on February 26 to raise awareness of the benefits of mammography screening for early detection of breast cancer.
“Fujifilm and Sun Nuclear Corporation share a common interest in enabling access to breast health education and mammography screening services for every woman who needs it,” said Rick Banner, Senior Director of Marketing, FUJIFILM Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc. “Through outreach and collaboration with women’s health leaders, we are hoping to empower women to be fearless in their approach to their breast health.”
