LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - Sparrow Mobile Health Clinic offered free breast screenings Tuesday.
Early detection can be lifesaving and annual mammograms are crucial to making sure everything is in check.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Sparrow Mobile Health Clinic has partnered with Lansing Radiology Associates to offer FREE breast health screenings for all women.
For the first time, the Sparrow Mobile Health Clinic will offer free breast health screenings and feature leading-edge mammography services.
The Sparrow Mobile Health Clinic has been providing on-site care to medically underserved areas of Mid-Michigan since 2019, going directly to where patients live.
“I’m hearing more and more about cases affecting people and so the scare is real,” said Rachael Bergan. “I think the more accessible we can make this for women the more of a grip that we can have, and catch it early.”
Experts recommend women get yearly screenings starting at the age of 40.
