GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Spectrum Health’s Betty Ford Breast Care Services will be hosting a mobile mammography clinic at Baxter Community Center on Saturday, June 12.
The clinic will include staff from the Spectrum Health Cancer Center who are familiar with the LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer) community and their health care needs who can provide consultations.
June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month. The screening event is in partnership with the Grand Rapids Pride Center, Grand Rapids LGBTQ+ Healthcare Consortium, the West Michigan Coalition for Breast Health, and Baxter Community Center.
The early detection screening through the mobile mammography unit will be offered from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Baxter Community Center, located at 935 Baxter St. SE.
Appointments are required. Free mammograms will be available for uninsured or under-insured patients. People can call 616-486-6022 to see if they qualify or visit spectrumhealth.org/bettyford.
