Adams Memorial Hospital has announced that this year’s Mammography Night will be held Tuesday, Oct. 28.
The 3-D screenings will be offered from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the radiology department at the hospital.
The initiative is organized by the radiology department and its director, Trisha Tester, in an announcement, emphasized the importance of the event, particularly for women who have not had a mammogram in the past five years or have not previously received one at the local hospital.
Attendees will not only have access to essential health screenings and education, but will be able to enjoy some relaxation with complimentary refreshments and massages, it was noted.
The announcement said the cost of the mammogram will be processed through an individual’s insurance plan.
Thanks to funding from the Indiana Breast Cancer Awareness Trust Grant, eligible individuals who are in financial need may qualify for a free screening, the announcement said.
All mammograms will be interpreted by board-certified radiologists from Summit Radiology in Fort Wayne, utilizing the latest digital technology for accurate results, according to the announcement.
To schedule a mammogram during the special event and to inquire about financial eligibility, those planning to participate should call the AMH Central Scheduling office, (260) 724-2145, ext. 11047, or (26) 589-3913, ext. 11047.
