As part of the JN Group’s seventh annual Power of Pink breast cancer awareness campaign, 100 women received free mammograms on October 18, World Mammography Day, at the Jamaica Cancer Society, located at 16 Lady Musgrave Road in St Andrew.

The women received the complimentary service on a first-come, first-served basis. There was an engagement activity where people won prizes and JN representatives were on site to interact with attendees and provide them with information.
