Insurance will be billed for mammograms; there will be no charge for women without insurance.
A physician will be on-site to perform skin cancer screenings to those who haven’t had skin screening in the past 12 months. In addition, easy-to-use take-home colorectal cancer screening kits will be available for women and men who are 45 and older, and haven’t been screened in the last 12 months.
