French Hospital Medical Center (FHMC), a Dignity Health Member, in collaboration with The Center for Health and Prevention, part of the Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo (CAPSLO), will hold a free mammogram clinic on Sat. May 17 at The Center for Health and Prevention, 705 Grand Avenue in San Luis Obispo. This free clinic, held in observance of Mother’s Day, will be offered to women unable to qualify for state or federal programs to obtain this service.
Women interested in receiving a free mammogram must make an appointment for a clinical breast exam by calling The Center at (805) 544-2478. At the time of the exam, participants will receive a referral for a same-day, free mammogram screening at the FHMC Women’s Health and Imaging Center, 1911 Johnson Avenue, San Luis Obispo.
French Hospital Medical Center is proud to offer this opportunity in order to increase awareness and educate women about the importance of regular screenings, clinical breast exams and early detection. This free mammogram clinic is made possible by the generosity of the French Hospital Medical Center Foundation and its donors.
