Breast Health

Breast cancer is most treatable and curable when it is detected early. It is important to have a mammogram every year once you reach 40 years old. Depending on your family history, your risks and your provider’s findings, a mammography may be recommended earlier or more frequently.

Bellaire and East Jordan Family Health Centers offer onsite mammography services with or without a doctors referral.

Who is eligible for a mammogram screening?

• The US Preventive Services Task Force recommends that women who are 40 to 74 years old and are at average risk for breast cancer get a mammogram every 2 years.
• Any women age 40 and older may be eligible for our Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Navigation that provides annual breast exams, and mammograms at no cost to the patient.
