SBL Mobile Mammography Coming to Kansas, Ashmore

For Release

Sarah Bush Lincoln’s Mobile Mammography Services will be hitting the road at local clinics, schools, businesses and other locations in May.

The van will be at Kansas CUSD School District, located at 310 South Front Street, from 10 to 11 am on Monday, May 1. That same day, the bus will be at Ashmore Elementary School, located at 313 South Ohio Street, from 12:15 to 1:15 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.
