Article provided
Francine’s Friends Mobile Mammography unit will be in Churubusco for women interested in scheduling a mammogram. On Saturday, November 12, the mobile unit will be at AgPlus, located at 9325 E. State Road 205, in Churubusco.
Screening mammography is for women who:
- Are age 40 and older and have not had a mammogram screening in the past 12 months
- Have no prior or current history of breast cancer or problems with their breasts
- Are insured or uninsured
The Breast Diagnostic Center (BDC) performs the screening. For women who have insurance, the insurance company will be billed. If patients do not have insurance but have the ability to pay, the BDC offers a reduced rate if paid the day of the screening.
For women without insurance, a high deductible or who do not have the resources to pay, funding is available.
To schedule a mammogram with Francine’s Friends Mobile Mammography unit, call 1-800-727-8439, ext. 26540, or (260) 483-1847.
