Greenville, SC – St. Philip’s Episcopal Church in Greenville has teamed up with Bon Secours St. Francis Health System’s Pearlie Harris Center for Breast Health to offer free mammograms in hopes of saving lives. The St. Francis mobile mammography unit will stop at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church at 31 Allendale Lane on Thursday, July 14th from 9 am – 3 pm.
The free screenings are offered to females who are uninsured or underinsured, age 40 and older and are due for their annual screening mammogram and females who are 35 – 40 years of age and needing a baseline mammogram. Women with insurance can also receive a screening; they just need to bring their insurance card. Females seeking a mammogram must be able to walk up the stairs of the mobile unit and stand unassisted.
Please call (864) 675-4101 option 1 to schedule an appointment and request booking on the mobile unit at St. Philip’s. Appointments are required.
The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be nearly 250-thousand new cases of breast
cancer diagnosed in the United States this year. Nearly 40-thousand people will die in 2016 from breast cancer. Survival rates have improved over the years due to early detection, new personalized approached to treatment and a better understanding the disease.
