On Thursday, May 31st, a mobile mammography van will be available at Project Self-Sufficiency to offer free mammograms to eligible women. To receive a free mammogram, women must be uninsured or underinsured and over the age of 40. Mammograms will be offered by appointment only, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. – 5:20 p.m.
Participants will also receive instructions for performing self-examinations, as well as free educational materials on breast health and breast cancer. In combination with mammograms, breast self-exams and clinical breast exams are recommended for all women after the age of 20. Combining these three methods gives women the best chance of detecting breast cancer at its earliest stages. Funding for the mobile mammography van is provided in part by the Susan G. Komen for the Cure ® North Jersey Affiliate.
