Free Mammogram Mondays in October
October 01, 2023
HSHS St. John’s Hospital is helping to ensure uninsured and underinsured women receive their annual mammogram by offering free Mammogram Mondays in October.
“The best prevention is early detection, and a mammography screening can help detect the early signs of breast cancer before it can be felt,” said Kristi Smith RT(R)(M), mammography facilitator and breast care navigator at HSHS St. John’s Hospital. “All women 40 years of age and older should be screened for breast cancer once a year. A mammogram is the best test we have to find breast cancer early, when it is easier to treat.”
The free mammography screening dates are October 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30, 2023, but free screenings can also be scheduled beyond the month of October. To schedule call 217-993-0480.
Mammogram Mondays are funded by HSHS St. John’s Foundation.
