Partners for Breast Cancer Care to host Aug. 14 Free Breast Health Caravan

FORT MYERS, Fla. - EntSun -- Partners for Breast Cancer Care (PFBCC), a nonprofit that funds breast screening, diagnostic testing and treatment for low-income women and men in Southwest Florida, is set to host a free Breast Health Caravan event from 8 a.m. to noon on Thursday, Aug. 14.

The event will take place at Samaritan Health & Wellness Center, located at 643 Cape Coral Parkway East, Unit B in Cape Coral. The Breast Health Caravan is a community health outreach event that provides free breast exams and mammogram referrals for uninsured women. Hosted several times each year, the Breast Health Caravan is part of PFBCC's ongoing effort to reach underserved areas where individuals are not receiving regular doctor visits or mammograms.

The Breast Health Caravan is made possible through collaboration between volunteer physicians and Lee Health navigators. At the event, attendees will receive a private, free breast exam, as well as a one-on-one breast care education session with a Breast Health Navigator. Clients will then work with PFBCC's case manager to schedule a mammogram appointment. PFBCC receives all reports and facilitates any follow-up care if needed, completely covered through their program.
