Access to timely mammograms is crucial in the fight against breast cancer.
For many Eastern NC residents, distance, transportation, and demanding schedules make mammograms hard to get. We remove those barriers two ways: our Mobile Mammography Unit brings screenings directly to your community, and our transportation assistance gets you to the nearest facility.
Two Ways To Get A Breast Cancer Screening
Mobile Mammogram comes to your town.
We partner with InVision Diagnostics to bring a mobile mammography unit to communities across eastern North Carolina. In 2026, there are 14 screening events scheduled in counties throughout our region.
We Provide Transportation
No mobile event near you, or can't make the date? We organize transport days — a ride from your town to the nearest breast screening center, traveling with other patients from your community. You're not figuring this out alone.
What does it cost?
If You Have Insurance
If you have insurance, your screening is billed to your insurance like any other mammogram.
Uninsured? Grant covers it
If you don't have insurance, Cancer Services has a grant that covers the full cost of your screening. You pay nothing.

What Happens After Your Screening
You must have a provider who can receive your results.
About 1 in 5 screenings comes back with something that needs a closer look. An abnormal result doesn't mean cancer — it means a follow-up is needed, and it needs to happen quickly. That's why every patient needs a doctor or clinic on file to receive results.
Don't have one? Tell us on the form and we'll talk it through when we call you.
Getting Your Results
Your results go directly to your provider. If your screening shows something that needs follow-up, your provider and your county health department will connect you to further testing and care. Cancer Services covers the initial screening; your health department takes it from there — and they will not let you fall through the cracks.
DID YOU KNOW?
1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
Black women in our region die from breast cancer at disproportionately higher rates, even though incidence is higher among white women. And Hispanic women have the lowest screening rates of any group, which is a major driver of late-stage diagnosis. Screening earlier changes those outcomes. That's why we go town to town.
Bring A Screening Event To Your Community
Churches, employers, and town leaders: you can host a mobile mammography event or help organize a transport day for your community. One event can mean dozens of women screened who otherwise wouldn't be. Reach out and we'll make it easy.
