The Penobscot Breast Cancer Coalition is having a hard time finding women who want to receive free screenings for breast and cervical cancer.
The services will be offered during the week of Nov. 14-18 in Bangor and Dover-Foxcroft.
Ten of the mammographies will be provided at Mayo Regional Hospital in Dover-Foxcroft. In Bangor, 33 mammographies will be given at each of three sites: Acadia Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging, the St. Joseph Hospital and Eastern Maine Medical Center.
The Bangor-Brewer YWCA will provide health education at each site, while Penquis Health Services will give clinical breast exams and Pap smears. The program is supported by a $75,000 grant from the YWCA of the U.S.A. and the Avon Worldwide Fund for Women’s Health.
Advance registration is required. For more information, call the Bangor-Brewer YWCA at 941-2808.
