Early detection of breast cancer saves lives, and the Chatham County Health Department is teaming up again with the St. Joseph/Candler mobile mammography unit to offer no-cost breast cancer screenings on May 27.
Free mammograms will be available by appointment for eligible women at the Chatham County Health Department’s Midtown location at 1602 Drayton Street on May 27, 2025, from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. The free screenings are open to women aged 40 and older without health insurance coverage.
Space is limited - appointments are required and can be scheduled by calling the Chatham County Health Department’s Breast and Cervical Cancer Program at 912-356-2946 or 912-307-9235.
Breast cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second-leading cause of cancer death in women. However, many cancer deaths can be avoided through regular screening. When breast cancer is detected and treated early, the chance of survival is greatly increased.
The Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (BCCP) helps increase access to life-saving screenings for women who do not have health insurance coverage for mammograms and cervical cancer screenings. For more information about available services, please visit www.coastalhealthdistirct.org/bccp
