Mammogram Program
Today more breast cancers are being diagnosed at an early stage, thanks to improved screening. Mammograms are an important part to the screening for women over age 40. Physicians in the community call upon Jess Parrish Medical Foundation to request vouchers for free screening mammograms to women who do not have sufficient income or healthcare insurance to obtain the study.
