Hospital to offer mobile mammography
at Broomfield Community Center

 

The Boulder Community Hospital mobile mammography unit will be at the Broomfield Community Center on Wednesday, Feb. 2 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. to offer mammograms for interested area residents.

This special outreach is a response to statistics that indicate that breast cancer strikes one in eight women in the U.S. and early detection is the best protection against the disease.

Those who wish to take advantage of this medical screening must be over the age of 18. Appointments are necessary and detailed information about preparation for the procedure will be sent prior to the appointment. Call 303-464-5526 to schedule an appointment. No walk-ins will be accommodated.

Boulder Community Hospital accepts most types of insurance. Please be sure to check with your insurance carrier regarding mammogram coverage and preferred providers. The mobile mammography unit does not accept Kaiser insurance.

Grants may be available to assist those who are uninsured and underinsured or for whom cost may be a problem. For information, contact Kristy Martinez at 303-544-5773.
