Register today for the next Free Breast Exam & Health Screening scheduled for September 21.

PHILIPSBURG (DCOMM):--- Saturday, September 21, the free breast exam and health screening will resume. Women interested in participating in the Breast Abnormalities Study, you are invited to sign-up for the screening exam.

The screenings will be hosted by the American University of the Caribbean (AUC) School of Medicine and are scheduled for September 21st, October 19th, October 26th, and November 16th from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm. The deadline to register is three days before the scheduled event.

The health screening will be conducted by AUC medical students.
They will be checking your height, weight, vision, blood sugar, blood pressure, and total cholesterol while the breast exam will be performed by board-certified AUC physician, Dr. Naira Chobanyan.

AUC is conducting these screenings, with support from the Positive Foundation and the Ministry of Public Health, Social Development and Labour (Ministry VSA), to help the St. Maarten population understand the risk factors associated with breast abnormalities and breast cancers.

During this free screening opportunity, participants will also be educated and informed on:

1. What are the signs and symptoms of breast cancer?
2. What can be done to decrease the risk?
3. How the risk is evaluated
4. How the risk can be calculated

While there is no sure way to prevent breast cancer, it is the hope that through education and results from this research project, women can be empowered by knowledge resulting in earlier detection and treatment.

The Positive Foundation urges women to take measures to “Feel It, Find It, and Fight It” early on when it’s easiest to treat.

The results from this research project may provide a basis for screening guidelines for St. Maarten, which could lead to earlier detection for all on St. Maarten.

To make an appointment, call 721-545-2298 ext. 404 2242 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

The screenings take place at the Vineyard Office Park Building, building #3 in Philipsburg. Those who have not participated in past AUC breast screenings are welcome to participate.
