WakeMed offering free mammograms for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and for the third year in a row WakeMed is offering free 3D mammograms to women.

The hospital network is teaming up with the medical device company Siemens Healthineers for the event.

The event is for uninsured women over 40 who can receive a mammogram at no cost. Registration is required and as of Monday morning, all appointments have been filled.

However, there is a very limited capacity for walk-ins each day but you will need to call first to check availability at this number: 919-350-1317

The bus will be parked at WakeMed's Raleigh Medical Park.

The mobile suite will be open daily from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.

Next week the hours will be 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The event runs until October 31.
