Turning lemons
into Lemonade
Locks
Kelly Giblin started Lemonade Locks Wig
Boutique after experiencing hair loss first-
hand. As her hair started falling out, she
looked for options for hiding her growing bald
spots. She found a line of comfortable, stylish
wigs that made her feel great. Now she shares
that discovery with others.
Located on the second floor of The AIS Cancer
Center, Lemonade Locks is a full-service wig
boutique. You’ll also find other products—such
as makeup and clothing—that are ideal for
people living with cancer.

2-D
3-D
A better view
Finding cancer early saves lives. And 3-D mammog-
raphy is a significant advance in breast cancer detec-
tion. In fact, a recent study in
The Journal of the
American Medical Association
found that 3-D mam-
mography is 41 percent more effective at revealing
invasive breast cancer than traditional mammography.
These 3-D images give doctors clearer, more detailed
views. This helps them detect breast cancer earlier
and more accurately. Quest Imaging offers the only
3-D mammography in Kern County. It has locations in
downtown and southwest Bakersfield.
Don’t wig out!
Located on the second floor of
The AIS Cancer Center at SJCH, Kelly Giblin’s
Lemonade Locks provides beautiful wigs to
cancer patients.

Wasting no time
Timely treatment gives you the best odds for a complete
recovery. “In many places, the wait is over 100 days between
screening and the start of treatment, says Jennifer Lavers,
operations manager at The AIS Cancer Center. “Our
goal at The Breast Center is to ensure that every patient
begins treatment within 30 days of their mammogram or
screening.”
