In 2010, Naeve Health Care Foundation, Naeve Hospital Auxiliary and Albert Lea Medical Center challenged the community to match the foundation’s gift to purchase new state-of-the-art full-field digital mammography equipment for the medical center, through “Project Pink.”

Through separate donations and events and attending September’s Project Pink gala, the community raised more than $117,000 allowing the new equipment to become a reality. And donations continue to come in.

The state-of-the-art full-field digital mammography equipment was installed in December 2010. To schedule an appointment for a mammogram, call 377-6349.
