Susan G. Komen North Carolina Triangle to the Coast grant will fund mammograms for uninsured and underinsured
The Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center Foundation has received a $24,074 community health grant from Susan G. Komen North Carolina Triangle to the Coast to provide free mammograms and diagnostic services for uninsured and underinsured women in Brunswick County.
To qualify for a free mammogram, women who do not have health insurance or are underinsured must be age 40 or up, live in Brunswick County and cannot have had a mammogram in the last year.
“We are grateful to the Susan G. Komen organization for helping us bridge the gap in breast cancer screening with this generous grant,” said Cindy Cheatham, development manager for the Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center Foundation. "This means so much to us as we know it will help us bring a vital diagnostic tool to the women in our community who forgo mammograms because they cannot afford them.”
The American College of Radiology recommends that all women 40 and older receive an annual mammogram.
Mammograms are available at Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center six days a week or on Novant Health’s mobile mammography coach. The mobile mammography coach is available at various Brunswick County locations and features digital mammography technology, all female technicians, private changing and separate clinical exam room.
For more information or to schedule your mammogram, call 910-721-1485 or visit NovantHealth.org/Pink.
