SBL Mobile Mammography Visiting Multiple Charleston Locations
Sarah Bush Lincoln’s Mobile Mammography Services will be hitting the road at local clinics, schools, businesses and other locations in May.
From 8:30 am to 2 pm on Tuesday, May 2, the van will be located at 960 18th Street, near Charleston High School and Charleston Middle School.
Later in the week, on Friday, May 5, the bus will visit Carl Sandburg Elementary, located at 1924 Reynolds Drive in Charleston, from 8:30 to 11 am. That same day, the bus will be at Jefferson Elementary, located at 801 Jefferson Avenue in Charleston, from 12:30 to 2:30 pm.
The van provides mammograms to women who do not otherwise have access to, or may not be able to afford these screens. Women who qualify for the East Central Illinois Breast and Cervical Program operated through Prairie State Women’s Health will receive their mammogram for free. Services are available to all women, regardless of their financial status. Women with insurance that covers the yearly mammogram are welcome, too.
Women 35 and older, with or without insurance, may call to schedule a mammography exam. Women under 35 must have a physician order, but do not need insurance coverage to schedule a mammography test.
To schedule an appointment, call 217-258-2588.
