Mammograms can detect breast cancer in its early stages before any signs or symptoms may be present. That's why Lewis Health Center recommends that all women 40 and older receive a screening mammogram each year.
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Lewis Health Center in Hohenwald will offer walk-in Wednesday mammogram screenings Oct. 2 and 16 from 1 to 4 p.m. to provide convenient access for women seeking their annual mammogram. No appointment is required.
Most insurance plans cover an annual screening mammogram. For those who qualify and are uninsured, the Tennessee Department of Health will be available at Lewis Health Center during this time to offer free mammography screenings through the Tennessee Breast and Cervical Screening Program.
Those who prefer to schedule their mammograms at a different time may do so by calling 931.380.4044. Appointments are available Monday–Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Learn more about mammography services at MauryRegional.com/Mammogram.
