CAMBRIDGE, Ohio (AVC News) — OhioHealth Southeastern Medical Center will host a free breast cancer awareness lunch and learn Oct. 19, providing community members with information about breast cancer prevention, screenings, treatment options and local resources.
The event will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Morrison, Amos and Deddish Conference Rooms inside the main hospital entrance, across from the information desk.
Baidehi Maiti, MD, a medical oncologist at Southeastern Medical Center, and Rebekah Wever, MD, a general surgeon, will present information on breast health and the importance of early detection. Each physician will give a presentation followed by an opportunity for questions and discussion.
