Ep 82: What to Expect at Your First Mammogram | Wahoo Chamber Chat
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so Kate and Kat sat down with Jade Lohr, lead mammographer at Saunders Medical Center, to talk about something women put off way too often: taking care of themselves.
Jade explains what really happens during a mammogram (spoiler: it takes less than 15 minutes). She covers when to start screening and how often to go, and why the American College of Radiology and the American Cancer Society have slightly different guidelines. She also shares what to skip the morning of your appointment, and how close to home and quick it is to get screened right here in Wahoo. Bonus: you can fit it in on your lunch hour.
In this episode:
What to expect at your first mammogram
Screening guidelines: when to get a baseline and how often to come back
Why to skip jewelry, deodorant, and especially powder on appointment day
What happens if you get called back: diagnostic imaging, ultrasound, and MRI
Breast density and why regular screenings matter
How referrals work, and why sharing your prior images helps your care
Pink Out dates (find them on the Chamber app) and pink shirt Fridays at SMC

Ep 81: Chamber Bucks Are Getting an Upgrade! | Chamber Chat with Kate & Kat
Chamber Bucks are getting a BIG upgrade!
Kate and Kat are joined by Wahoo Chamber of Commerce board member Shannon Hauswald to talk about the brand-new Chamber Bucks program coming in October.
Say goodbye to the old paper Chamber Bucks and hello to physical gift cards and e-cards designed to make shopping local easier for everyone. Shannon shares how the new program will work, where you'll be able to purchase Chamber Bucks, and some of the surprising places you'll be able to use them.
Think beyond shopping and restaurants. Chamber Bucks can also be used with participating Chamber members for things like utilities, school expenses, gas, and more.
We also go behind the scenes of the years of research that went into finding a system that would be easy for customers, gift-givers, AND local businesses to use.
And with the holidays right around the corner, the timing couldn't be better for a new way to give local.
Plus, this episode's Chamber Champion spotlight is Scooter's Coffee in Wahoo.
Keep it local, friends!
