Imaging Center Offering Mammography Screening

BRIDGEPORT — The SWIM Women’s Imaging Center will offer the following free and low-cost mammography screening for women age 35 and older during the month of February:

*Wednesday, February 11, 9 am to 1 pm, St Vincent’s Immediate Health, 401 Monroe Turnpike, Monroe

*Monday, February 23, 1 to 5 pm, St Mary’s Church, 70 Gulf Street, Milford

*Friday, February 27, 9 am to 1 pm, Lord Chamberlain, 7003 Main Street, Stratford

The latest American Cancer Society guidelines recommend that all women have a mammogram by age 40, and then every year thereafter.

Mammograms are free for those who do not have health insurance, have financial limitations and qualify for assistance. For those who do not have insurance but do not qualify for free services, mammograms are discounted. Appointments are necessary and a physician order and insurance card must be brought to the appointment.
