Tennis Legend Martina Navratilova Joins Hologic
to Highlight Importance of Regular Screenings
Hologic, Inc. Chairman, President and CEO Steve MacMillan will
ring the Nasdaq opening bell today to mark the beginning of Breast
Cancer Awareness Month. This is the 16th time that Hologic (Nasdaq:
HOLX), an innovative medical technology company and the pioneer of
3D mammography, will ring the bell to raise awareness about breast
cancer.
MacMillan will be joined by Hologic employees and members of the
Women’s Tennis Association (WTA), including tennis legend and
breast cancer survivor Martina Navratilova and WTA President Micky
Lawler, as part of a multi-year partnership between Hologic and the
WTA to champion women’s health and equality.
“We are honored to stand alongside the women of the WTA in
recognizing Breast Cancer Awareness Month as we continue to
underscore the importance of preventive care and annual mammography
screening,” said MacMillan. “Our recently released findings from
the second year of the Hologic Global Women’s Health Index
highlight the unfortunate reality that more than 2 billion women
worldwide weren’t tested for any type of cancer, including breast
cancer, in the past 12 months, making the work we do to increase
awareness even more important.”
The Hologic Global Women’s Health Index, one of the world’s
largest studies on women’s well-being, examines critical markers
for health by country and territory, and over time. It identifies
barriers to preventive care for women and provides a framework for
governments, business leaders, nonprofit organizations, scholars
and others to achieve progress.
“As a woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer after a routine
mammogram, I know firsthand how important breast cancer screening
is,” said Navratilova. “While progress has been made, Hologic’s
research shows that far too many women are not getting the
screenings they deserve. I’m proud to stand with Hologic this
Breast Cancer Awareness Month and share my story in hopes of
encouraging other women to schedule their mammograms and prioritize
their health.”
The bell ringing is one of many activities that Hologic and the
WTA have used to spread the message of prevention, early detection
and early treatment since the groundbreaking partnership began in
March of this year. Throughout Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the
two organizations will continue to bring much-needed attention to
the critical issue of women’s health during tournaments, at special
events and through public campaigns.
