April Ross is teaming up with GE Healthcare Systems to encourage routine mammograms for early detection.

USA volleyball Olympian April Ross is teaming up with GE Healthcare Systems in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month to highlight the importance of routine mammograms in early detection of the disease.

Ross commended the alliance with GE, highlighting the organization for producing new technology designed to make the experience more comfortable for patients everywhere. 

"They've made this new machine, the Pristina, and it's made by women, for women, it's patient-centric, and it's supposed to make the experience just a little bit more comfortable," Ross explained

"It's supposed to encourage people to not only stay on their annual mammograms but maybe come in and get it done for the first time and not be so intimidated by the experience."

The gold medalist lost her mother to breast cancer two decades ago, and reiterated the importance of early detection and how it can save lives.
