‘Mammography Night’ slated for later this month

There’s a special event dedicated to women’s health coming up.

Adams Memorial Hospital will host Mammography Night, an initiative organized by the radiology department to encourage women to prioritize their health, from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. Oct. 28. The event allows individuals to undergo 3-D screening mammograms. Eligible individuals who are in financial need may qualify for a free screening mammogram, with the funding covered by an Indiana Breast Cancer Awareness Trust grant.

All mammograms will be interpreted by board-certified radiologists from Summit Radiology in Fort Wayne, utilizing the latest digital technology for accurate results.

To schedule a mammogram for this special event and to inquire about financial eligibility, please call the AMH Central Scheduling office at (260) 724-2145 (ext. 11047) or (260) 589-3913 (ext. 11047).
