Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Lawndale News Chicago's Bilingual Newspaper - Health

Breast cancer remains one of the most common cancers affecting people with breasts, and early detection saves lives. Chicago Department Public Health is working to close gaps in care by connecting residents to free or low-cost breast health services throughout the city. Through community partnerships with local organizations, CDPH helps ensure that eligible Chicagoans, regardless of insurance status, can access lifesaving screening, navigation, and education services.  If you haven’t had a recent mammogram or would like to learn about available screening options, support is available.  Visit equalhope.org, call Sinai Urban Health Institute at 1-877-437-5432, or learn more through the Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (IBCCP).
