Holy Cross Hospital, Florida Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program and the Florida Department of Health in Broward County (DOH-Broward) are encouraging all women to give themselves the gift of health this Valentine’s Day by participating in the “2016 Valentine Is MammoTime” event.
Women of all ages can receive a free screening mammogram at “Valentine Is MammoTime” event, set from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, February 13, 2016 at Dorothy Mangurian Comprehensive Women’s Center at Holy Cross HealthPlex.
Aboard the Mobile Health Unit, a physician or an advanced registered nurse practitioner will provide one-on-one education, a general health assessment, clinical breast exams and mammogram prescriptions for women age 40 and older.
“We are happy to partner with Holy Cross Hospital’s Partners in Breast Health Program for these services to the community,” said Dr. Paula Thaqi, Director of Florida Department of Health in Broward County.
Holy Cross Hospital’s Partners in Breast Health (PIBH) program has provided outreach education, clinical breast exams, screening mammograms and diagnostic procedures to uninsured, lower income and minority women age 40 and older who lack access to healthcare services. The program also offers services to uninsured symptomatic women who are younger than 40.
