"The overall death rate from breast cancer decreased by 1% per year from 2013 to 2018. These decreases are thought to be the result of treatment advances and earlier detection through screening." Did You Know the proceeds from Dig for the Cure go to 3 local entities? St. Bernard's Imaging Center, AMMC's Project Hope, and NEA Baptist Hospital's Hope Circle.
