VINCENNES, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Good Samaritan Hospital in Vincennes will be hosting a free mammogram screening event for uninsured and underinsured patients.
The event will take place on November 21, from 2 to 5 p.m. It be held in Good Samaritan’s Breast Cancer Center next to the Health Pavilion. This initiative was made possible through generous grant funding from the Indiana Breast Cancer Awareness Trust.
Director of Marketing at Good Samaritan Hospital Tiffany Conover said it’s important to get these screenings done.
“Early detection is the best prevention for breast cancer really. So, you need to make sure to prioritize yourself and get the screening mammogram. Because if you wait too long you know breast cancer can develop much quicker.”
Individuals interested in getting a screening must call the Breast Care Center at 812-885-3627 to confirm eligibility and schedule an appointment.
