While pink serves as a powerful symbol for Breast Cancer Awareness Month every October, protecting your health is a year-round commitment.

🩺Regular screenings are one of the most effective steps you can take for peace of mind and early detection. If you've been delaying a screening due to cost, help is available right here in Montana.

🎗Through the Montana Cancer Control Programs (MCCP), eligible uninsured or underinsured women ages 40–74 can receive free mammograms and screening services.

📞️Call 406.433.2207 and ask for Heather Nevins with the MT Breast & Cervical Program to find out if you can get help to pay for your mammogram!
It never hurts to ask!

Hib is a vaccine preventable disease, given in a series at 2, 4 and 12-15 months of age.
