Get your annual mammogram at Pledge the Pink!

We have teamed up with Baptist Health’s Buddy Bus, a mobile mammography unit, to provide screening mammograms to our Flock. Thank you, Buddy Bus!

Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center’s mobile mammography unit, the Buddy Bus, is coming to you! The Buddy Bus provides convenient 3D screening mammograms in a comfortable environment complete with waiting area, private dressing room, and an exam room staffed with registered technologists.

Schedule Your Mammogram

Eligibility requirements:

• You must be at least 40 years old. If you are age 30 – 39 and have a family member who was diagnosed with breast cancer before age 50, then the “10-year rule” applies.
– For example, with a first-degree relative diagnosed at age 42, your eligibility begins at age 32.

• One year since last mammogram.

• No breast issues (such as a lump or discharge from nipple area).

• Can climb the unit stairs and stand for 10-15 minutes without assistance. If unable, please contact Baptist Health Hill Breast Center at 904.202.2499 to schedule an appointment at one of Baptist Health’s convenient in-office locations.

• Have seen an OBGYN or primary care provider within the last year who is able to receive and review your screening results.
