Get your group of ladies together and make it a party at our free breast self-exam classes!

The breast self-exam helps you build confidence and skill with an introduction to the MammaCare Method of self-breast examination. MammaCare is the internationally recognized standard for breast examination. During this class, you will practice on lifelike breast models, allowing you to feel the difference between the texture of normal tissue and lumps. The goal is to encourage breast awarness; all women should be familiar with their breasts and promptly report changes to their health care provider.

The course is taught by Sheila Hermesmeyer, RN, OCN. Sheila is the Blessing Breast Center Nurse Navigator. She has 38 years of nursing experience and is a MammaCare Certified Self-Breast Exam Instructor. Through this training, Sheila learned standardized breast examination skills that involve palpitation and search procedures designed to teach women the most effective methods to best protect their breast health.
