One in eight women will develop breast cancer and to remove barriers many women have in receiving timely breast cancer screenings, Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas has made walk-in mammogram screenings available at its Fort Scott and Pittsburg South locations starting on September 3.
Women aged 40 and older without a recent mammogram screening can walk in from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday through Friday at CHC/SEK’s Fort Scott clinic located 2322 S. Main St, Fort Scott and Pittsburg South clinic located at 1011 S. Mount Carmel Place, Pittsburg. No referral or order required.
CHC/SEK participates in the Early Detection Works which is a breast and cervical cancer screening program for Kansas women. The clinic offers other financial assistance programs ensuring every woman who needs a mammogram screening will receive one regardless of income or insurance status. Patients can ask to speak to a Benefits Enrollment Specialist for more information on Early Detection Works. CHC/SEK offers discounted fees for services based on family size and income.
