Staff reports
The South Carolina Department of Public Health and the Beaufort County Health Department are holding an event offering free breast cancer screenings, mammograms and cervical checks to women who qualify.
To qualify for a free mammogram through the Best Chance Network, women must be ages 21 to 64 and be without insurance or have a high insurance deductible.
According to the press release, breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer among women in South Carolina and is the second most common cause of cancer-related death.
Mammograms can detect breast cancer before there are signs or symptoms and breast cancer is mostly treatable if found in the early stages.
The event will be held on Monday, July 29, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Beaufort County Health Department at 601 Wilmington Street.
To schedule an appointment, call 843-792-0878.
