Free breast cancer screenings offered during October

(GENESEE COUNTY, MI) During Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, the Genesee County Cancer Connection is sponsoring free breast cancer screenings for women in the county aged 18 and older.
Here are the dates and times:

Monday, Oct. 6
6 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Great Lakes Cancer Institute - McLaren
4100 Beecher Road, Flint

Tuesday, Oct. 14
6 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Genesys Hurley Cancer Institute
302 Kensington Avenue, Flint

These screenings are on a walk-in basis only; no appointment is necessary. A physician will conduct the free breast exam. Those who qualify will be given a certificate for a free mammogram, which will be scheduled for a later date.

For more information on the free breast cancer screenings, call the Genesee County Cancer Connection at 810-766-8898.

The Genesee County Cancer Connection is made up of Genesys, Hurley, McLaren and the American Cancer Society of Genesee County.

More than 200,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, and about 40,000 women will die from it. Early detection is the best protection to reduce those numbers. Breast cancer can occur at any age.
