October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Project Renewal ScanVan is gearing up for more and more visits to underserved communities for mammograms.
Over the course of the pandemic, there’s been an 87 percent decrease in mammograms, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Angela Brunswick, director of Project Renewal ScanVan program, says anyone who is over 40 and in need of a mammogram —- whether or not they have insurance — should call to make an appointment.
“You can be insured, underinsured, no insurance,, immigrant, documented or undocumented, you can get a mammogram as long as you are over 40,” Brunswick told PiX11 News. Watch the full story.
