October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s estimated that 40,000 lives are lost each year to breast cancer, and early detection and treatment is key to survival rates.
The Texas Cancer Screening, Training, Education & Prevention, or (C-STEP) program, which is conducted through the Texas A&M Physicians Family Medicine Center, will have free mobile mammograms on November 20th at the Salem House of Blessings & Miracles Ministries in Navasota.
These mammograms are offered to uninsured women residing in the Grimes County area, age 40-54 with no mammogram in one year, or age 55-74 with no mammogram in two years.
To schedule an appointment, call a Community Health Worker by November 6th at 979-436-0453, or 979-436-0443, as you must pre-register two weeks in advance.
