Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
LEESBURG – Live Well Kosciusko is partnering with Francine’s Friends to bring breast cancer screenings directly to the Leesburg community.
The mobile unit will be located at Owens Fresh Meat Market, 6287 Ind. 15, Leesburg, on Monday, March 16 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
This event is part of Live Well Kosciusko’s commitment to reducing barriers to care and ensuring every woman in Kosciusko County has access to early detection services, according to a provided news release.
Women ages 40 and older who have not had a mammogram in the past year are eligible for screening. Insurance will be billed when available, and assistance is offered to help ensure cost is not a barrier. To secure a preferred time, appointments are recommended, but walk-ins will be accommodated when possible.
“This event helps women have access to early detection services,” said Jessica Camarena of Live Well Kosciusko. “If cost or access has been a barrier, we want you to know support is available.”
Francine’s Friends Mobile Mammography is a program of Parkview Health. For more information, visit www.parkview.com/francinesfriends.
This event is made possible through support from Health First Kosciusko and the partnership of Parkview Health. Live Well Kosciusko also extends its appreciation to Owens Fresh Meat Market for serving as a host site and the Kosciusko County Cancer Coalition for helping bring this service directly to the Leesburg community.
