Tomorrow: MMU at Mountain Home Walmart
Need a mammogram? Baxter Regional Medical Centerand#39;s
Mobile Mammography Unit will be at Mountain Home Walmart Supercenter on Thursday, March 24 from
9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide and the second
most common cancer overall. The two most common risk factors for breast
cancer are being female and getting older. All women are at risk for breast
cancer, and that risk increases with age. Most breast cancer deaths occur
in women aged 50 and older.*
In order to qualify for a
free mammogram from a Susan G. Komen grant the MMU received, women must meet
these criteria:
- Have a photo ID
- Be 35+ years of age
- 1 year and 1 day from last mammogram
- Not currently covered by insurance or insured (covered) with a $5,000+
deductible or insured (covered) without preventative wellness benefits
- Have a current relationship with a physician (by law, it is required to
send a copy of the report to a physician)
- Have been denied by BreastCare through their local county health unit (Arkansas
residents only)
