Sheryl Crow, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006, announced on Tuesday the grand opening of the Sheryl Crow Imaging Center in Los Angeles.

“[Opening the center] has provided me with a wonderful platform to create awareness and encourage the millions of American women over 40 to get their annual mammogram,” says Crow.

“Detecting breast cancer early is a woman's best chance at survival, and digital full-field mammography is the gold standard of early detection.”

Sheryl Crow released her latest albumВ '100 Miles from Memphis' in July, featuring Keith Richards ofВ the Rolling Stones, Justin Timberlake and Citizen Cope.В
