FUJIFILM and National Breast Cancer Foundation Celebrate Install of Mammography System at White Memorial Medical Center

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–White Memorial Medical Center, a member of the Adventist Health System
and a 353-bed hospital in downtown Los Angeles, celebrated the
installation of a new mammography system donated by FUJIFILM Medical
Systems U.S.A., Inc. and National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) on
March 23, 2016. A ceremony unveiled Fujifilm’s Aspire Cristalle at White
Memorial Medical Center that will help meet the screening needs of women
and assist medical professionals in the early detection and diagnosis of
breast cancer.


“We are pleased to be working with National Breast Cancer Foundation and
White Memorial Medical Center to make a contribution that will have both
immediate and long-term impacts on improving breast health care in the
community,” said Johann Fernando, Chief Operating Officer, FUJIFILM
Medical Systems U.S.A., Inc.

According to the National Cancer Institute, 1 in 8 women will be
diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. Early detection and
treatment are among the most effective ways to overcome cancer. The
latest technology at White Memorial Medical Center will assist
radiologists in screening and diagnosis of breast cancer.

“The incredible support we receive from National Breast Cancer
Foundation makes a big difference at White Memorial Medical Center,”
said John Raffoul, President and CEO, White Memorial Medical Center.
“This year alone, thanks to support from NBCF and other generous donors,
we will be able to provide more than 2,300 free clinical breast
exams/mammograms to underserved women of our community, of whom 45 will
unfortunately test positive for cancer. This state-of-the-art equipment
from Fujifilm will literally allow us to save the lives of women when we
can diagnose them at an early stage of breast cancer. We are blessed to
have these incredible partners supporting our hospital.”

Since 2006, Fujifilm has donated $1.6 million to NBCF. The support has
allowed NBCF to provide thousands of mammograms and early detection
services to women in all 50 states and helped ensure that those facing
breast cancer have access to quality healthcare.

“Through the donation of the Aspire Cristalle mammography system,
Fujifilm will provide life-saving mammograms to women throughout the Los
Angeles area,” said Janelle Hail, NBCF Co-Founder & CEO. “We thank them
for their partnership and support of our mission of Helping Women Now to
those affected by breast cancer.”
