An update from the Consumer Health Coalition:

Free Mammograms ... Because Your Health is Priceless 

Are you a woman without health insurance?

Does your co-pay make it difficult to access health care?

Are you due for a mammogram?

Allegheny General Hospital Breast Care Center, in partnership with National Breast Cancer Foundation, is providing free mammograms to women with limited resources.  To learn if you qualify for a free mammogram please call the Allegheny General Hospital Breast Care Center at 412-359-6543. 

Please pass this on to any woman that you know who has difficulty accessing health care or who is without insurance.  Regular mammograms are important!  Don’t delay!  Call to schedule an appointment or CHC (412-456-1877 x200) can help to schedule an appointment for you!
