Mammograms are completed in just 10 – 15 minutes.  Making an appointment will ensure that this screening is done at no cost and at a time convenient for you.  Past participants of this screening event have stated, “The staff is so nice, it didn’t hurt, and it was the quickest mammogram I’ve ever had.” and many others have stated, “If it weren’t for this event, I wouldn’t have completed my mammogram this year.”
