Area health organizations have added two new locations to their list of sites offering free mammograms in October: Taylorville and Hillsboro. Women who are uninsured or under-insured can receive a free mammogram each Monday in October. The program will be offered again at two Springfield locations and in Lincoln.
Thanks to a $20,651 grant from the Memorial Affiliate of Susan G. Komen, the Regional Cancer Partnership of Illinois (RCPIL) is able to fund the program for women ages 40 and older. Over the last four years, nearly 400 women have benefited from this annual grant.
