To Your Health

Can you believe it's been almost a year since we last saw the Swedish Hospital Mammogram Bus at Village Yarn and Tea Shop? No one can say we're not a full-service yarn shop! For the convenience of all of you women who have been putting off your mammograms this year, we'll be holding our annual Women's Health Fair on Friday and Saturday, August 22 and 23, and it'll be a lot more fun than your standard-issue mammogram! FYI: the Swedish Breast Care Express is a full-service, self contained, 64-foot mammography clinic on wheels. The Express features the latest in digital full-field mammography technology as well as a complete rooftop satellite system enabling the transmission of images to radiologists at Swedish.

While you're here, you can get some good health information from various health professionals, including Dr. Jana M. Hagen, Naturopathic Physician and many others. And, you'll get a fabulous goodie bag filled with all sorts of yummy fiber treats (the yarn kind of fiber, that is!). We're taking sign-ups now, so call early to get your preferred day and time. This is NOT a free service, but most insurance carriers are accepted for your mammogram, so be sure to bring your insurance information and/or checkbook with you that day.

So make your appointment today by calling the shop at 206.361.7256. We'll post more information as it becomes available.

Mobile mammogram services are an excellent way for women to have their preventive health screening done. Also, remember the importance of self breast exams for women and self testicular exams for men. After all, who knows your body better than yourself.
