In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center, 1798 N. Garey Ave., Pomona, is providing discounted 3-D mammogram scans for eligible women around local communities throughout October.

For just $50 and with no physician order or proof of insurance required, eligible women can receive a mammogram. Participants must be at least 40 or older, cannot have breast implants, and must not have been diagnosed with breast cancer in the last five years. To schedule an appointment, call (909) 469-9395.

PVHMC wants to provide accessible and affordable regular breast screenings since early cancer diagnoses can lead to less complications and better health outcomes. According to the American Cancer Society, one out of eight women will develop breast cancer, with the incidence rate increasing by 0.5% per year.
