Providing Comfort During Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Beyond
Patient care is about providing comfort, warmth, and peace of mind during stressful times. For Imaging Centers, Breast Centers, and Oncology departments, choosing patient gowns plays a significant role in creating a relaxed patient experience. ImageFIRST’s Comfort Care® patient gowns are designed with ultra-soft fabric and thoughtful details, ensuring patients feel comfortable and cared for throughout their visits.
Recognizing Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Breast cancer awareness is a crucial campaign dedicated to increasing knowledge about the disease, promoting early detection, and supporting those affected. Each October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month magnifies public education and the importance of regular screenings, self-exams, and understanding risk factors.
- 1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.1
- Approximately 15% of women diagnosed have a family history of breast cancer. Those with a first-degree relative (mother, sister, daughter) with breast cancer are nearly twice as likely to develop breast cancer themselves.2
- Approximately 66% of breast cancer cases are diagnosed at a localized stage, before cancer has spread outside of the breast, when it is easiest to treat.3
Understanding these facts and statistics is essential for empowering individuals to make informed health decisions.
ImageFIRST recognizes the importance of breast cancer awareness and helps to make the screening and treatment process as comforting as possible. The warmth and softness of our pink Comfort Care gowns offer an extra layer of reassurance, helping patients feel more at ease during one of the most challenging times.
For Imaging Centers, Breast Centers, and Oncology departments, ImageFIRST’s premium Comfort Care gowns assist healthcare providers in creating an environment that prioritizes patient well-being from the inside out.
Promoting Patient Experience with Comfort and Warmth
Designed with ultra-soft, premium fabric, Comfort Care gowns are tailored to maximize patient experience. Patients undergoing imaging procedures often face anxiety, and the warmth and softness of Comfort Care offer an immediate sense of calmness.
Available in various styles, these gowns accommodate a wide range of medical procedures and are versatile enough to be worn as front- or rear-opening gowns, adding an extra layer of convenience. With stylish trim and modern colors, these gowns prioritize comfort and elevate the overall patient experience.
Many patients have expressed the impact of Comfort Care, like Sue from North Carolina:
"I am a breast cancer survivor, and through all the doctor visits, chemo, radiation treatments, and surgery, I was always uncomfortable in the flimsy gowns. But then I got your pink gown. It was plenty big enough, even for a plus-size woman like me, and it was so soft and comforting. The gown made it a much more pleasurable experience!"
