Schneck offering free screening for breast, cervical cancer

Schneck Medical Center in Seymour will be offering free breast and cervical cancer screenings at the Schneck Cancer Center on October 27th.

Hospital officials say that they want to ensure that no woman in the community goes without regular pap smears and breast exams because of an inability to pay. The exams will include a clinical breast exam (not a mammogram) and a cervical exam with a pap test. All exams will be performed by qualified nurse practitioners.

To be eligible a woman must be at least 21 years old and not have had a breast or cervical exam during the last 12 months.

Screenings are limited and appointments are required. To schedule your screening, call the Cancer Center screening line at 812-522-0477.
