Women between the ages of 35-40 who qualify for the program are eligible for one free mammogram. Women who are 40-50 years old who qualify for the program are able to have one free mammogram every other year. Women over age 50 who qualify for the program are eligible for a free mammogram every year. Over the past eleven years, over 2,500 local women have received free mammograms through this program. Qualified women can schedule their free mammogram by contacting BAMC Women’s Health Center or NorthReach Crivitz Medical Center.
