This October, the city is focusing on women's health with a hands-on approach. According to a recent announcement on the City of Manchester's official website, Mercy’s Mammogram Van will be at the Manchester Justice Center on October 15, offering mammogram screenings from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. This health event is not just about getting checked; it's a community effort for early detection during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Women aged 40 and older are especially encouraged to take advantage of this service. There is one important rule: you must not have had a mammogram in the past year to participate. Accessibility is also considered; you need to be able to use steps and stand for the exam without assistance, as stated by the City of Manchester.
Appointments are required, and attendees can secure a spot by calling 314-251-6300 and selecting option 0. A bit of paperwork is involved, so remember to bring your insurance card and photo ID on the day of your appointment, as noted on the City of Manchester's website.
