Please note: This exam is a manual exam performed by a licensed practitioner. It is NOT a mammogram. However, follow-up mammography and imaging services for women without insurance coverage for mammography are also available through our program.

Translation services can be provided if needed for Spanish-speaking women. We will need to know of the requirement at the time the appointment is made.
