Donor support to the Lincoln Memorial Foundation enabled Lincoln Memorial Hospital (LMH) to provide lifesaving breast cancer screenings for eligible women throughout Logan County during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
LMH conducted a total of 366 mammograms with 29 free mammograms provided through the Mammogram Mondays program – fully funded by the Lincoln Memorial Foundation through generous donor support. These screenings provided access to essential care for uninsured and underinsured patients who otherwise may not have been able to afford it.
Breast cancer was detected in four patients, highlighting the vital role early detection plays in savings lives.
“Mammogram Mondays are one of the most impactful ways our Foundation donors make a difference,” said Sarah Helm, director of the Lincoln Memorial Foundation. “Their generosity ensures that every woman in Logan County has access to this essential screening, regardless of financial situation.”
Mammogram Mondays reflect LMH’s ongoing commitment to improving community health through preventive care. Foundation funding helps the hospital offer free or reduced-cost mammograms for uninsured or underinsured women each year.
“Because of our donors, lives are being saved right here in our community,” said Tamar Kutz, president and CEO of Lincoln Memorial Hospital. “These results show the power of local giving and the lasting impact it has on the health of our community.”
The Lincoln Memorial Foundation continues to welcome donations to sustain programs like Mammogram Mondays and expand access to preventive care for all. To learn more or make a gift, visit https://memorial.health/lmf-give.
