Promise Me Program Provides Free Mammograms for Women in Need

OneWorld Community Health Centers (www.oneworldomaha.org) and Medical Imaging Consultants provided free mammograms to underserved women in the Omaha area during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month thanks to a grant from Susan G. Komen® Nebraska.

A mobile mammography clinic was on location at the OneWorld facility at 4920 South 30th Street on October 5th and October 25th. Approximately 20 patients were scheduled to receive the free mammograms. Komen Nebraska granted OneWorld funding to pay for the cost of each mammogram through the Promise Me program.
