The Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium’s Wisewoman Women’s Health Program in partnership with the Breast Cancer Detection Center will bring the mobile mammography van here May 17-21.
All women are at risk for breast cancer, the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second-leading cause of cancer death among Alaskan women. Early detection of breast cancer through regular screening increases the chances of long-term survival.
The SEARHC Wisewoman Women’s Health Program provides free clinical breast exams, mammograms, pap tests and cardiovascular screenings for all women ages 40 and older who meet income and insurance guidelines.
For more information, contact your local clinic, call the program in Sitka at 966-8782 (or 1-888-388-8782, toll-free in Alaska), or e-mail [email protected].
