Mammogram Van at Senior Activity Center December 30, 2025

Fred Hutch's Mammogram Van will be stationed at the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Senior Activity Center on December 30, providing essential screening services for women aged 40 and older. The mobile unit aims to make annual mammograms more convenient and accessible, with appointments running from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM and lasting about 15 minutes. Yearly screenings are vital for early detection and preventative health care. Most insurance plans cover the cost for eligible participants, but individuals should verify their coverage beforehand. For those without insurance, inquiries about alternative funding options are encouraged.

Despite the convenience, the van is not ADA accessible, requiring clients to navigate steps to board. The initiative reflects growing efforts to improve women's health services in the community, emphasizing the importance of regular screenings. This event aligns with broader public health goals to increase awareness and access to necessary preventative care for women.
