Wood County Hospital is hosting two free mammogram screening events for uninsured men and women who are
not able to afford these lifesaving screenings.
The events are scheduled for Saturdays, Aug. 27 between 8 a.m. and noon and Oct. 22 between 8 a.m. and 2
p.m. A physician order is required in order to schedule the mammogram.
Wood County Hospital is one of six hospitals in the Northwest Ohio region in partnership with the
Hospital Council of Northwest Ohio to offer free mammograms to the uninsured through funding from the
Northwest Ohio Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The project will impact Wood County and
surrounding areas by increasing mammography rates and increasing breast health knowledge.
For more information about the screening event or to schedule a free mammogram, call (419) 354-8743 and
give the code word "PINK."
Anyone who does not have a family doctor and would like a mammogram can call the Wood County Health
District’s Women’s Breast Health Program at (419) 352-8402.
