Free mammography clinic

  • PublishedSeptember 12, 2024


Sulphur Springs, TX –

The Hopkins County Health Care Foundation’s free mammography clinic still has openings for uninsured Hopkins County women over the age of 40.  The Foundation is offering 60 appointments and hopes that each appointment is filled.

The mammograms are conducted by the staff of the Ruth & Jack Gillis Women’s Center, a part of CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs, on the 3D mammography equipment.  

The October clinic is being offered this year on Friday, October 4, Monday, October 7, and Wednesday, October 9, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call 903-438-4325 to find out the full schedule of available appointments, as other days and times may be added.

Early detection of breast cancer is key to survival.  One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in her life.  Mammograms continue to be important throughout a woman’s life since the risk of breast cancer increases with age. 

If you are eligible for a free mammogram, please call 903-438-4325 to schedule an appointment.   

The Hopkins County Health Care Foundation was founded in 1997 to promote Hopkins County healthcare opportunities.  The Foundation is an IRS 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization.  Funds raised by the Foundation are used for the benefit of Hopkins County citizens.
