Mobile clinic offers free breast and cervical screenings

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- Stuber Health and Heart to Heart International have teamed up to offer free breast and cervical cancer screenings at the Sisters of Solace coffee shop.

Once a month, the mobile clinic travels to a new location in St. Joseph to ensure women across town have access to life-saving health care and treatment.

Since the mobile clinic started screenings in February, two patients were identified as needing further in-depth testing, proving the screenings made an impact.

Any woman 21 years or older is eligible for a screening, regardless of residence status or insurance, except Medicaid.

The mobile clinic will accept walk-ins, or patients can schedule appointments ahead by calling 816-344-5233.

The screenings will begin at 9 a.m. on Friday, May 23 in the Sisters of Solace parking lot, located at 3024 Frederick Ave.
