The latest American Cancer Society guidelines recommend that all women have a mammogram by age 40, and then every year thereafter.

Mammograms are free for those who do not have health insurance, have financial limitations and qualify for assistance. For those who do not have insurance but do not qualify for free services, mammograms are discounted. Appointments are required for this exam. For those that have insurance, please bring your card at time of visit.

To schedule an appointment or to find out when the mobile mammography unit will be in your area, call St. Vincent's SWIM Women's Imaging Center at (203) 576-5500. To schedule a screening site for your office, community center, school or church, call the Mobile Mammography Coordinator at (203) 576-5505.

The mobile mammography program, one of the largest free mammography screening programs in Fairfield County, is made possible through St. Vincent's SWIM Across the Sound, Connecticut's leader in cancer education, prevention screenings and support services in the area. Other organizations also help provide mammography screening support including Susan G. Komen for the Cure CT Affiliate, The National Cancer Foundation,  Near and Far Aid, and the Breast Cancer Alliance
