Why are mammograms important?

1 in 8 women will have breast cancer, and 8 out of 9 have no family history. However, when detected early, breast cancer has a nearly 100% survival rate. Regular yearly 3D mammogram screenings help with early detection and better outcomes. Early diagnosis reduces long-term absenteeism by treating the disease early when treatment is less severe. 

Benefits of mobile mammography:

Convenience - Mobile unit is conveniently parked right outside your business or in your neighborhood which makes it convenient to not have to take time off work or travel far from home. 

Who is eligible to receive a mammogram on the bus?

• Have no health insurance that pays for breast cancer screening exams
• Net family annual income is at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level
• Asymptomatic (no breast symptoms)
• Eligible female who has not received a screening mammogram within the past year. This will be considered their annual wellness screening mammogram.
• Women under 40 years of age require a prescription from their doctor.
