Mammograms
If you have not had a mammogram in the past 2 years, please ask the provider at your next well-women visit for more details. The Urban Inter-Tribal Center of Texas can help with finding in network providers if you have insurance and assist in scheduling follow-up appointments. We also provide reminder calls. For help scheduling a mammogram, please call us at 214-941-1050.
Assistance for Uninsured Women for Mammograms
If you are between the ages of 40 and 64 and are low-income or don’t have insurance, we can assist with enrollment in state programs, if eligible, or link you to other mammogram assistance locally.
Why getting a mammogram is important
Compared with other ethnic/racial groups in the United States, American Indian/Alaskan Native women have the lowest incidence of breast cancer but the lowest breast cancer survival rate so finding a lump early is very important. The earlier breast cancer is found, the better the outcome. A mammogram can save your life, it is the best form of early detection. A mammogram can detect a lump up to two years before it can be felt, it can find a lump the size of the smallest bead.
