Free Mammography Clinic Still Has Openings

 

Attention uninsured women over 40 in Hopkins County! The Hopkins County Health Care Foundation’s free mammography clinic still has openings. We’re offering 60 appointments and hoping to fill each one. Don’t miss this opportunity to take care of your health.

The Ruth & Jack Gillis Women’s Center staff, a part of CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital—Sulphur Springs, conducts the mammograms using 3D mammography equipment.

This year, the Foundation will offer the clinic in October on Friday, October 4, Monday, October 7, and Wednesday, October 9, from 8:30 am to 4:00 pm. You can call 903-438-4325 to find out the full schedule of available appointments, as we may add other days and times.

Early detection of breast cancer is key to survival. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in her life. Mammograms continue to be critical throughout a woman’s life since the risk of breast cancer increases with age. If you are eligible for a free mammogram, please call 903-438-4325 to schedule an appointment.

The Hopkins County Health Care Foundation was founded in 1997 to promote Hopkins County healthcare opportunities. The Foundation is an IRS 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization. The Foundation uses the funds to benefit Hopkins County citizens.
