  • News article describing free mammogram service
    The Iowa Care for Yourself program has been around for years, but many women who could participate have never heard of it.

    The program is for women ages 40-65 who are income-eligible and do not have insurance coverage for breast cancer screenings and cervical cancer screenings, also called mammograms and PAP tests.

    What does income-eligible and without insurance coverage mean? It means that if you are within the income guidelines and you either have no health insurance or your insurance does not cover mammograms and PAP tests, then you qualify for the Care for Yourself program.

I have found a lump in one of my breasts and I have had a bump in my other breast from an injury for 4 years.
