  About Buddy Call
 

The Buddy Call 19 program encourages all participants to recognize that breast self-examination (BSE) is just one part of a very important three-part program - breast examination by a physician, routine screening mammography and breast self-examination - that is recommended by national health organizations.


As an active participant in the Buddy Call 19 program, you are taking a major step toward managing your health. You and your buddy are working together - with one another - and with thousands of women in the Midlands.
  How to Participate  

  • Sign up.
  • Choose a Buddy Call 19 program partner (a friend, relative or co-worker).
  • Place a Buddy Call 19 sticker on your calendar as a reminder to call your Buddy on the 19th of each month to make sure that she has done her monthly breast self-exam.
  • Use the enclosed BSE shower card.
  • Give your Buddy one of the enclosed shower cards and a set of Buddy Call 19 stickers for her own use.
