The 20th Annual UPMC Hamot MammoMarathon is an opportunity for women to get an important health screening with many extra activities to enjoy such as raffles and refreshments.<\/p>\n
Breast Cancer Awareness Month focuses on the importance of mammograms, the screening test for breast cancer, which can help find breast cancer early when it’s easier to treat.<\/p>\n
MammoMarathon began in 2006 and going strong for 20 years.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Women 40 and over who have not had a mammogram in the last year are eligible to participate in this event. Schedule an appointment at 814-877-6123.<\/p>\n
Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are welcome. If you have health insurance, it will be billed for the screening mammogram.<\/p>\n
Women without health insurance are welcome and encouraged to come for a screening mammogram; assistance will be provided to cover the cost by the Sandra Lynn Martin (SLM) Breast Cancer Fund at Hamot Health Foundation.<\/p>\n
