Most insurance plans cover annual screening mammograms for women 40 and older. If you’ve had prior mammograms at another facility, please bring those records for comparison. For those without insurance, no-cost mammograms are available. Results are typically provided within three business days.
The MammoVan is sponsored by the Christine E. Lynn Women’s Health & Wellness Institute, Baptist Health South Florida.
According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States (excluding skin cancers), representing about 30 percent or one in three of all new female cancers each year.
The American Cancer Society’s estimates for breast cancer in the United States for 2025 are:
- About 316,950 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women.
- About 59,080 new cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) will be diagnosed.
- About 42,170 women will die from breast cancer.
Breast cancer mainly occurs in middle-aged and older women. The median age at the time of breast cancer diagnosis is 62. A very small number of women diagnosed with breast cancer are younger than 45.
Early detection through annual mammograms saves lives. Schedule yours today! If you haven’t had your yearly mammogram, please register today!
