Who should have a mammogram?
The American Cancer Society now recommends that all women have a screening mammogram every year once they turn 40.

Don't have insurance or under-insured? Don't worry!
If you are between the ages of 40 and 65 and have little or no insurance, you may qualify for a free mammogram, a clinical breast exam, and a PAP test (screening for cervical cancer) on an annual basis through Maine's Breast and Cervical Health Program.  For more information, call: 1-800-350-5180 Press 1.
