Free mammograms offered for Franklin County women

            October is Breast Cancer awareness month and as part of the awareness campaign a local group is providing money so uninsured women in Franklin County can get breast cancer screenings.  

The group, Franklin Needs Incorporated, has a fund to help local, uninsured women get mammograms at Sacred Heart Hospital in Port St. Joe.

The group is best known for a breast cancer awareness calendar they created with local breast cancer survivors posing in very creatively concealed ways.

Women who would like to get a free mammogram must be residents of Franklin County, be between 35 and 64 years old, and have no health insurance.

To take part in the program, women need to schedule a mammogram at Sacred Heart which they can do by calling Shelly at 229-5687.

If you schedule your mammogram in October – Franklin Needs will also give you a free box of chocolates.

The number to schedule you mammogram again is 229-5687.
