Southern California women who do not have health insurance or have limited medical coverage can receive mammograms at a lower cost at a Pomona hospital.

Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center announced eligible women over the age of 40 can receive the cancer screening service for $50 without a physician’s order or proof of insurance in the month of April. To be eligible for the $50 mammograms, patients should not have breast implants with no history of breast cancer in the last five years and no recent breast problems. Women who have received mammograms within a one-year period may not be eligible. “Doing mammograms does decrease the stage that people are diagnosed and improves overall survival,” said Dr.

He said some women who are on Food Stamps or have mental health struggles may also likely skip the life-saving service.
