Talking Shop with WellStar

WellStar Health System has partnered with 100 local salon owners and their stylists to launch Talking Shop with WellStar – a program that encourages salon clients over 40 who have never had a mammogram to have regular screenings at a WellStar imaging facility.

WellStar is providing participating salon owners with free educational sessions on women’s health issues and the importance of mammography screenings so that they can share this information with their clients and refer them to WellStar for mammography. Each participating salon will have educational materials visible and available for their clients, and a WellStar representative will visit each salon on a monthly basis to answer any questions that the salon or the salon’s clients may have.

The goal of the program is to increase the number of women who get screening mammograms and to gain a better understanding of why women age 40 and older are not having regular mammograms.
