The mobile health coach will also provide mammography and heel bone density screenings at Dade County Public Library on Saturday from 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
"All women should have one screening mammogram between the ages of 35-40. After age 40, a screening mammogram is recommended every year. Any woman who meets these age guidelines and has not had a mammogram in the past 12 months may participate, with or without insurance.
"For those with insurance, you must bring your insurance card and a photo ID, such as a driver’s license. Insurance will be filed for you. If you do not have insurance, you may qualify for financial assistance. The MaryEllen Locher Breast Center receives grants and partners with Tennessee Breast and Cervical Screening Program to provide eligible uninsured and under-insured women with breast and cervical screenings. If an abnormality is discovered, the diagnostic work up is covered. Women need to know their doctor’s first and last name," officials said.
To schedule a screening, call 423-495-4040 or 866-591-2254.
