Promise Fund, a South Florida-based nonprofit dedicated to increasing survivorship from breast and cervical cancer, will host free Mammography Screening Days on the following dates:
-
July 11 at Healthyme, 411 W Indiantown, Jupiter from 8:00 AM- 2:00 PM.
-
July 12 at Monarch Health Services Back to School Health Fair, 6073 Summit Blvd, West Palm Beach, from 9:00 AM- 2:00 PM.
-
July 18 at Origin Church Jamaicans of the Palm Beaches, 3600 Australian Ave, West Palm Beach from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m.
The screening events are presented in partnership with Florida Mobile Mammography, HealthyMe, Health Care District of Palm Beach County, Origin Church, Department of Health, and Monarch Health Services.
“The Promise Fund is here to make screenings accessible for everyone, especially those who might otherwise go without care,” said Lissette Lahoz, Promise Fund’s Palm Beach County Navigator. “Early detection can make a real difference. Treatment is often easier to manage, and people are able to focus more on their health, their families, and their everyday lives.”
While Promise Fund’s program reaches women across Palm Beach, Broward, and Martin counties, it currently operates four co-located screening programs within partner sites in Palm Beach and Broward, and is actively working to secure funding to establish a co-located program in Martin County.
Appointments are required. To register, call 877-427-7664.
Promise Fund reaches tens of thousands of women in Palm Beach, Broward and Martin Counties who are uninsured, under insured or have limited or no access to healthcare. The organization, founded in 2018 by Ambassador Nancy G. Brinker, is dedicated to increasing survivorship from cervical cancer and breast cancer by providing guided support and access to screenings, as well as early detection, treatment, and beyond.
To date, Promise Fund has reached more than 145,000 women in South Florida through education and advocacy, and has impacted the lives of over 27,000 women through access to screenings, diagnostics, and care. Promise Fund has helped 286 women who were diagnosed with cancer navigate getting treatment.
