Goodwill, University Health System, CHRISTUS Santa Rosa and Prevent Blindness Texas are teaming up to make preventive health care easy, convenient and affordable. A special "Wellness Wednesday" event featuring mammograms, as well as free flu shots, health and vision screenings will take place Wed. Oct. 10 at the Goodwill location on Fredericksburg Road at Vance Jackson Road. Health screenings and flu shots are offered from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., including blood pressure, cholesterol, height/weight (body mass index, or BMI) and glucose screenings provided by University Health System. Free flu shots are available for anyone six months of age or older while supplies last. Prevent Blindness Texas will offer vision screenings during this time. All services are offered at no cost on a first-come, first-served basis. Mammograms will be available by appointment only from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. through CHRISTUS Santa Rosa's mobile mammography unit. The screening offers a softer, warmer mammogram with the use of MammoPads, soft, single-use foam breast cushions that can help relieve the discomfort many women feel during a mammogram. Medicare, Medicaid and most private insurance will be accepted for mammograms; financial assistance may be available for those who are uninsured and meet other criteria. The following requirements apply: · Participants must be 40 years of age or older. · Participants must not have had a mammogram within the past 365 days and have no symptoms (such as lumps or skin changes), no previous breast cancer or mastectomy, implants or pacemakers, and must not be breastfeeding. · Please wear a two-piece outfit and no deodorant, perfume or lotion. · Bring a picture ID and insurance card (if applicable), along with a doctor’s order for a mammogram. · Bring films of your most recent mammogram if applicable. · To schedule a mammogram appointment or for more information, including assistance with getting a doctor’s order, call CHRISTUS Santa Rosa at 210-704-4100.
