Regina Hall Promotes Early Breast Cancer Detection in Novartis Campaign

She uses her platform to push routine mammograms with a focus on self-advocacy for Black women.

Overview

  • Hall, who discussed the effort Monday in a PEOPLE interview, said seeing many loved ones face breast cancer made her reprioritize her own health.
  • She said most of those friends and relatives did well because their cancer was found early, highlighting why regular mammograms matter.
  • Through the drugmaker Novartis’s “Your Attention, Please” campaign, she shared a “Get Ready With Me” video that makes scheduling a mammogram part of her routine.
  • She explained that busy lives lead many to delay screenings and said she uses calendar reminders to keep appointments from slipping.
  • Hall urged women, especially Black women who face higher impact, to speak up when something feels wrong and to use friend check-ins to normalize breast health talks.
