  • Household income that is less than or equal to 200% to the federal poverty guidelines. 
  • Has no breast symptoms (e.g., pain, discharge, lump).
  • Has not had a mammogram in the past year. This will be considered their annual wellness screening mammogram.
  • Women under 40 years of age require a prescription from their doctor.
  • If you need diagnostic imaging, you will be unable to use this mobile unit as the bus provides a 3D screening mammogram. 
  • You are not eligible to be screened on the mobile unit if you are currently pregnant or have not stopped breastfeeding for five months.

To make sure you are eligible for this screening, and to schedule an appointment please email at Pasco.web@FLHealth.gov or call 727-619-0369 or 727-619-0371.

Mammography is the single most effective method of early detection, since it can identify cancer several years before physical symptoms develop. Detecting and treating cancer early is important. It can be the difference between life and death.
