MARLBOROUGH, Mass., May 16, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Hologic, Inc. (Nasdaq: HOLX), a global leader in
women's health, announced a new partnership with recently drafted
NFL cornerback Kelee Ringo and his
mother, breast cancer survivor Tralee
Hale, to educate women on the importance of prioritizing
annual mammograms and other key health screenings.
Ringo is a two-time national champion from the University of Georgia who was recently drafted by
the Philadelphia Eagles. The launch of the partnership with Hologic
is timed with Mother's Day and National Women's Health Week
(May 14-20, 2023).
Hale's story is a familiar one: a woman who did not prioritize
her preventive care screenings as she focused on managing her
family, career and other commitments. As a single mother, she was
diagnosed with breast cancer just days after Ringo began his
freshman year in college. She is now cancer-free after completing
treatment, but Ringo and Hale know how lucky they are and want to
encourage women not to delay annual screenings.
"Kelee and Tralee's story resonates with all of us because we
have heard from women — time and again — who have prioritized their
families and other responsibilities while putting their own health
screenings on the back burner," said Erik
Anderson, Hologic's Division President of Breast and
Skeletal Health Solutions. "We couldn't be more grateful that they
are sharing their personal story as a way to reach women about the
critical importance of annual breast cancer screenings and making
their health a priority."
Hologic, a pioneer in 3D mammography and creator of the
Genius® 3D Mammography™ exam, is committed to
increasing awareness about the life-saving power of annual
mammograms and other routine health screenings. The partnership
with Ringo and Hale will further that impact through media
interviews, public appearances and digital content.
