Partners for Breast Cancer Care (PFBCC), a nonprofit that funds breast screening, diagnostic testing and treatment for low-income women and men in Southwest Florida, will conduct a free Breast Health Caravan event from 8 a.m. to noon on August 14 at the Samaritan Health & Wellness Center, in Cape Coral. A community health outreach that provides free breast exams and mammogram referrals for uninsured women several times each year, the event is part of PFBCC’s ongoing effort to reach underserved areas where individuals are not receiving regular doctor visits or mammograms.

At the event, made possible via collaboration between volunteer physicians and Lee Health navigators, attendees will receive both a private, free breast exam and education session with a Breast Health Navigator. Clients will then work with PFBCC’s case manager to schedule a mammogram appointment. PFBCC receives all reports and facilitates any follow-up care if needed, completely covered through their program.

To qualify for a funded mammogram, women must be uninsured, have a household income up to and including 400 percent of federal poverty guidelines and be a legal resident of Lee, Charlotte, Glades, Hendry or Collier County. Attendees that have not pre-qualified must bring a photo ID, Social Security Card or ITIN and proof of household income.

Location: 643 Cape Coral Pkwy. E., Unit B, Cape Coral. For more information, criteria for qualifying or to register for the event (not required), call 239-454-8583
