Welcome! The Borough of Seaside Park, located on the Barnegat Barrier Island in Ocean County, New Jersey, was incorporated in 1898. Seaside Park is a small town of only 0.77 square miles with a year-round population of just over 2,200 residents. With almost two miles of shoreline on the Atlantic Ocean, the boroughâs main industry is summer tourism.
For years, the American Cancer Society (ACS) urged women to start mammograms at age 40, but they recently changed their guidelines. They now recommend beginning them at age 45, or at 40 if the patient chooses.
The USPSTF recommends that women who are 50 to 74 years old and are at average risk for breast cancer get a mammogram every two years. Women who are 40 to 49 years old should talk to their doctor or other health care professional about when to start and how often to get a mammogram.
