October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and BK Ford is proud to support the fight against this disease. For the fourth year in a row, BK Ford is teaming up with Baylor Scott & White Medical Center-Hillcrest to offer free mammograms to Central Texas women in need. This year we are providing 87 free mammograms in honor of our 87th anniversary.
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in American women, and one in eight women will develop it in their lifetime. However, when caught early, breast cancer is highly treatable. Monitoring your breast health with self exams and yearly mammograms increases your chances of catching cancer early.
To schedule your mammogram, please call the Baylor Scott & White Hillcrest Breast Center at (254) 202-4220.
Yearly mammograms are covered by most insurances but can be costly if you are not insured. “We are committed to helping women in our community stay healthy,” said Claire Kultgen McDonald, President at Bird Kultgen Ford. “By providing free mammograms, we are making it easier for women to get the screenings they need to detect breast cancer early.”
Visit our Breast Cancer Awareness page to learn more about proper breast health and the importance of yearly mammograms. If you need a donated mammogram, please call 254-202-4220 (Baylor Scott & White Hillcrest can provide information on assistance).
