Center For Black Women's Wellness Story
Active Goals for our Breast and Cervical Health Program (BCCP): Once a month, we host Mammogram Mondays when a mammogram mobile unit from Northside Hospital comes down to the Dunbar Center to hold mammogram appointments. Patients must register beforehand and can do so by contacting us directly to schedule their appointment. The mobile unit is currently scheduled to come once a month as of now. However, we are working towards inviting Northside Hospital to come to the Dunbar Center twice per month so more patients can be seen. As of now, our next Mammogram Mondays are on September 12 th and October 31 st .
