West Virginia women who are uninsured or whose insurance doesn't cover screening mammograms for breast cancer can receive a free screening at Cabell Huntington Hospital's Breast Health Center. The Susan G. Komen Foundation recently awarded Cabell Huntington Hospital a $35,000 grant to increase the number of screening mammograms available for uninsured or underinsured women in West Virginia.
"We are very grateful for this funding and what it will do to help us screen more women for breast cancer," said. Marsha Dillow, RN, MSN, Director of the Cabell Huntington Hospital Breast Health Center and the Edwards Comprehensive Cancer Center's Diagnostic Breast Center. "Thanks to the generosity of the Susan G. Komen Foundation, we will be able to offer potentially life-saving screenings for women who may not have the opportunity to be screened otherwise."
Appointments must be made to receive a screening and women must be West Virginia residents to be eligible. Please call (304) 526-2440 to schedule a screening.
