Turning Pointe: a dance for survivors 🩰💗

As a breast imaging center, we are usually there at the very beginning of the story. When breast cancer is found, we often know before anyone else. So getting to host a day that celebrates survivorship was powerful, and we’re still feeling grateful.

Survivorship starts with early detection. Screening lets us find breast cancer before you can feel it, and that gives us the best chance at a day like this one.

This day was full of connection, joy, movement, and hope.
Thank you so much to:
💗 The breast cancer survivors who shared their stories. You are the heart of this day.
💗 The dancers who shared their art and made us all a little teary-eyed
💗 Everyone who stepped up to the barre, some for the first time or the first time in a long time, and reconnected with the joy of movement
💗Midwest Dance Collective, LLC for hosting us
💗 Theresa Berger Moore for leading our all-abilities open ballet class
💗 dr.rachelpreisser for sharing facts about breast cancer and giving us all easy, concrete ways to take action this month
💗Sift + Sprinkle for the scrumptious treats

Take-homes:
✨ Listen to your body, and thank it for showing up for you.
✨ Know your breast cancer risk by age 25. The Tyrer-Cuzick risk calculator can help you find it.
✨ If you’re at average risk (less than 20% lifetime risk), start screening at age 40.
✨ Be proactive about any changes in your breast health.
✨ Lean into your community, and show up for those who are fighting. Local organizations like Can Do Cancer can offer connection and support.
✨ You’re never too young or too old to step up to the barre.

Beautiful on the outside AND the inside — that is the vibe at GRACE Breast Imaging & Medical Spa this week. 🌷

We are celebrating moms the way they deserve — with free Mother’s Day flowers for every patient who comes in for a screening this week! 💐 And yes, they are just as gorgeous as they look.

But here is the thing, mama — the best gift you can give your family is taking care of yourself. A mammogram takes only a few minutes. It could save your life. And right now, we still have a few screening spots left this week, and we do not want you to miss out on yours — or your flowers. 🌸

Book your spot, bring a friend, and let us take care of you the way you take care of everyone else. You have earned it.

📍 Serving Clive, Iowa and surrounding communities including West Des Moines, Waukee, Urbandale, Johnston, Ankeny, Grimes, Norwalk, Indianola, Altoona, and the greater Des Moines metro area

👉 Link in bio to schedule or call us directly — spots are going fast!

💕We cannot wait to see you.

🎓 Congratulations to our incredible School-to-Work student, Hope, on her upcoming graduation from DCG and heading to the University of Iowa this fall! 💛🖤
Hope, you have been such a gift to our GRACE Breast Imaging & Medical Spa family. From day one, you walked through our doors with the biggest smile and a willingness to jump in and roll up your sleeves— whether that meant learning something brand new or just being there for the team when we needed an extra set of hands. That kind of attitude is rare, and we noticed it every single day.
You brought so much warmth and thoughtfulness to everything you touched here, and our patients and staff were better for it. Watching you discover your passion for women’s health and ultrasound technology has been one of our favorite things this year. You are going to be an amazing sonographer — we just know it. 🩷
To our followers — this is what it looks like when the next generation of women’s healthcare providers is coming up the right way. We are so proud to have played even a small part in Hope’s journey.
Go get ’em, Hope. The University of Iowa is so lucky to have you!
💛 From your GRACE family
