Hi everyone,<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Jennie Dale, Cofounder of Dense Breasts Canada. We\u2019re excited to announce the launch our second platform, MyBreastScreening.ca.<\/p>\n

Why a second site?<\/strong>
\nOver the past five years, my Cofounder, Michelle Di Tomaso, and I, along with our medical advisor, Dr. Paula Gordon, and so many dedicated team members have been advocating for change to breast cancer screening practices in Canada. We\u2019ve collaborated with breast cancer screening experts and had many discussions with government.<\/p>\n

While we’ve been encouraged by important steps taken by provinces on breast density notification, we’ve been discouraged by the many policies and practices that fail women. All Canadian women need accurate information and access to optimal breast screening.<\/p>\n

Confusion and disinformation are too common when it comes to breast cancer screening in Canada. Compounding the issue is that the provinces have different breast screening practices. Many provinces are not following best practices and instead follow dangerous Canadian guidelines. Each year in Canada, we lose 5,000 moms, wives, daughters, sisters, aunts, grandmothers, friends, and coworkers. Lives can be saved by early detection coming from equitable and optimal screening practices.<\/p>\n

mybreastscreeening.ca<\/a> was created with input from breast health experts and women across Canada. It provides accurate, current, and evidence-based information for women over age of 25.<\/p>\n
