Cities offering / funding mammo screenings?

LirishinMKE · August 2011

I am looking for any major municipalities that may be funding or co-funding mobile mammography screenings for underserved women...or who may be partnering with other healthcare providers to deliver such. Does anyone know of any cities and/or have a contact name there? Thank you.

LirishinMKE, on the main Breastcancer.org site, there is a section on Where to Get a Mammogram, that includes this information that may be helpful to you:

"If you do not have health insurance, you can try to find a center that offers low-cost or free mammograms. Contact the National Cancer Institute (1-800-4-CANCER) or the American Cancer Society (1-800-ACS-2345) for assistance. Another option is the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (1-888-842-6355), which provides low-cost or free cancer screenings for women without health insurance."

Your local health department will have information on the Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening program. All states are required by law to administer this program.

Thank you. Apologies if my query was not clear. I am not in need of screening but looking for models of mammogram delivery to the underserved in other communities that may have such programs for another we are exploring in a major US city. Thank you.

I would recommend you call your Komen Affiliate in your area. They have knowledge of any programs in particular regions.
