Screenings are by appointment only\, from 8:15 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer among American women\, and early detection is essential in successful treatment. A mammogram (an X-ray of the breast) can often find tumors before they can be detected by other means. The mobile mammography program is intended to make receiving a mammogram affordable and accessible to women\, whether or not they have health insurance. Women with insurance may receive a mammogram through the mobile mammography program if they meet the qualifications outlined by their insurer. The insurance company will be billed and co-pays are collected (if required by the insurance company) at the time of service. Those without insurance\, or whose insurance does not cover the service\, will be charged on a sliding-scale basis. To make an appointment\, call Mount Evans at 303-674-6400. If you have questions about mammography screening or the mobile mammography program\, call Exempla St. Joseph at 303-837-6667. GENERAL GUIDELINES Screening mammography is typically for women 40 years of age and older. Younger women with a family history (typically mother or sister) can qualify for a screening. Mammograms are not recommended for pregnant women. Also\, it is recommended that a woman wait a few months after breastfeeding ceases before having a mammogram. Women who believe they may already have symptoms of breast cancer should see a health care provider immediately.
