Breast Cancer Awareness Month is right around the corner, and the Healthcare Foundation of LaPorte is reminding local residents they may be eligible for a free mammogram. Vouchers are available to low-income, uninsured, or under-insured women age 40 and older, as well as those of any age who have a high risk for breast cancer.

The Healthcare Foundation of LaPorte says health care providers in Starke or LaPorte counties may request a voucher for their patients through the end of December. The mammograms would take place at LaPorte Hospital. The vouchers were funded by an $18,000 grant from the Indiana Breast Cancer Awareness Trust, with proceeds from the sale of Indiana’s Breast Cancer Awareness license plates.
