Tomorrow: MMU at Ramada Inn

Need a mammogram? Baxter Regional Medical Center's Mobile Mammography Unit will be at Mountain Home's Ramada Inn on Thursday, March 31 from 9 a.m. to 2 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)
