Free Breast Exams offered by No Excuses Breast Cancer Outreach Program

Cancer Support Home Offers Free Clinical Breast Exams

(Fayetteville, AR) The No Excuses Breast Cancer Outreach Program, a service of Washington Regional Cancer Support Home, will offer free Clinical Breast Exams on Saturday, March 9, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Yvonne Richardson Center in Fayetteville, located at 240 East Rock St.

The examinations are offered at no cost to the public and are performed by physicians and registered nurse practitioners. Appointments are required. To schedule an appointment, please call 479-521-8024.

Please note: This exam is a manual exam performed by a licensed practitioner. It is NOT a mammogram. However, follow-up mammography and imaging services for women without insurance coverage for mammography are also available through No Excuses or other assistance programs. Interpretation services are provided on the day of the clinic for Spanish-speaking women. 

For over 15 years, the No Excuses Breast Cancer Outreach Program has been offered in an effort to stress the importance of early detection of breast cancer and eliminate excuses women give for neglecting their breast health. The program is made available by Washington Regional Cancer Support Home through a grant received from the Ozark Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

Through this invaluable project, Washington Regional Cancer Support Home has served thousands of women in need throughout Northwest Arkansas.  No Excuses has the vision to: educate women about breast health at every age, provide breast screening and imaging services to women in need, and provide access to emotional support to women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
