Allegheny Health Network, WPXI team up for breast cancer screening event

PITTSBURGH — October may be Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but women's health is important year-round. Doctors say early detection is the best defense against breast cancer.

That's why Allegheny Health Network and WPXI are teaming up for a walk-in breast cancer screening event Saturday Nov. 10.

Cost of preventative care is covered by most health insurance, but you’re encouraged to check your policy before attending the screening event.

No appointment is needed. Simply go to one of seven locations across our area and get your mammogram. Hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.

It must be 12 months since your last mammogram.
