JD’s Cosmetic Essentials to Support the Smilow Family Breast Health Center

WESTPORT, Conn., Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ — JD’s Cosmetic Essentials is proud to announce we will be supporting the Smilow Family Breast Health Center at Norwalk Hospital with a year-long effort to encourage our friends and customers to get a mammogram. Let us know when you had your mammogram and we will donate 10 percent of that day’s purchase to the Smilow Family Breast Health Center.

“Unfortunately we all know someone who is touched by breast cancer. It does not discriminate and does not take a holiday. We want every month to be Breast Cancer Awareness Month at JD’s,” said Elizabeth Genel, Founder and President of JD’s Cosmetic Essentials.

Did you know that 96% of women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer are alive 5 years later? This is a staggering statistic and all the more reason to get your yearly mammogram. Early detection is critical in the fight against breast cancer, the faster the diagnosis the better. The Smilow Family Breast Health Center assists the patient in scheduling the necessary physician appointments, arranging one-to-one education with a Breast Health Navigator, and offering support throughout the diagnostic process. The Smilow Family Breast Health Center brings together surgery, oncology, radiation, nursing, clinical trials, prevention and education — in one state of the art program.

“We are thrilled JD’s Cosmetic Essentials is on our team. We salute their effort to encourage all to get that yearly mammogram. JD’s is part of the Fairfield County community. The stores provide an intimate setting where women go to get even more beautiful. What better place to address women’s breast health concerns. We look forward to a long relationship. The donation of 10 percent of that day’s purchase after a mammogram will go a long way in supporting breast health,” said Maureen Major Campos, RN, MS, Breast Health Navigator at Smilow Family Breast Health Center.
