Free Screening Mammograms Offered

  • The Bellevue Hospital (TBH) mammogram technicians Courtney Bollinger, RT( R), and Cindy Allen RT ( R) (M), along with Julie Jarrett from TBH’s Centralized Scheduling Department

The Bellevue Hospital (TBH), The Hospital Council of Northwest Ohio, and the Northwest Ohio affiliate of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure are teaming together to offer 50 free screening mammograms for uninsured or underinsured participants in TBH’s service area, through the “Yes, Mamm” Komen Northwest Ohio Community Grant.

The 50 free screening mammograms have been made possible through the grant, and appointments are now being taken for the Oct. 5 screenings.

To make an appointment for one of the free screenings, contact TBH’s Centralized Scheduling Department, Monday through Friday, between the hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The phone number to call is 419.483.4040, Ext. 4326.

Callers will be asked questions designed to make sure they meet all the grant requirements. It is also preferred that participants bring a physician order to their screening mammogram appointment, but this requirement is not mandatory.             

For additional information on the free screening mammogram project, contact Kate Herring, TBH Foundation Director, at Ext. 4319.
