Breast Health Services

Twice as many African-American women die from breast cancer than Caucasian women. In fact, according to the National Cancer Institute, breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death among African-American women. Early screening can detect breast abnormalities sooner and potentially save lives.

Women over 40 should get a mammogram once a year. Mammograms are quick, easy, safe, and use less radiation than a dental X-ray. If you are uninsured or underinsured and need help getting connected to care, we can help.
