It’s unfortunate.

In 2009, the number of Americans without health insurance rose to 46.3 billion due to the recession. That means more and more women are struggling to afford a mammogram, something that just might save their life. Breast cancer doesn’t care about income.

While the Charleston Breast Center is not a free medical clinic, we do have programs available to women who are struggling to pay for their annual mammogram and you can help us ensure this critical test is not missed!

A screening mammogram costs about the same as going out to eat 10 times. What if your family decided to eat in for a month and donated the money saved to the Charleston Breast Center?
