On the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 29, Harney District Hospital (HDH) held a Mammography Happy Hour in the HDH Family Care Clinic lobby.

Featuring mocktails, snacks, music, and giveaways, the event aimed to encourage women to get their mammogram in a fun and inviting atmosphere.

A total of nine patients received mammograms during the event.

The Happy Hour was organized by Dr. Linda Selby with help from numerous hospital and clinic employees.

Staff from the HDH Imaging Department checked in patients, distributed educational materials, and provided the mammograms. The hospital would like to thank Marcie Neher for providing information and assisting with scheduling as well as Jody Megan and Sierra Phillips for working so hard to provide the mammograms!

Krysta Raif, business operations manager at the Family Care Clinic, scheduled appointments prior to the event. Walk-ins were also welcomed.

Family Nurse Practitioner Danyelle Peters appeared on Harney County Live to promote the Happy Hour and explain the importance of mammograms. The hospital would like to thank Peters for going on the air and Mindy Gould of Elkhorn Media Group for hosting her.

Family Nurse Practitioner Mary Schimmelpfennig mixed up the mocktails for the event, and The Pine Room generously donated a table full of mouthwatering appetizers and desserts for all to enjoy.

HDH and Eastern Oregon Coordinated Care Organization (EOCCO) ensured that everyone went home with some fun giveaways.

Maxine Nyman of the Harney County Health Department was present to help patients get signed up for the Oregon Health Plan, if needed.

The hospital appreciates everyone who contributed toward the success of the Mammography Happy Hour. Stay tuned for details about future Happy Hour events.
