Vail Valley Charitable Fund Launches Free Mammogram Screening for Uninsured Women
The Vail Valley Charitable Fund will offer free mammogram screenings to uninsured women in its service area through the Vail Breast Cancer Group program. If additional diagnostic screening is necessary, the Vail Valley Charitable Fund will also provide a $500 stipend to help cover the costs of those services. To qualify, applicants must prove they have lived or worked in Vail Valley Charitable Fund’s service area for at least one year.
The service area extends from east to west, encompassing East Vail through Dotsero, including Minturn and Red Cliff. Eligible women should complete an application at VVCF.org. The program targets and supports individuals within 251% to 550% of the Federal Poverty Level income bracket.
Vail Health helps uninsured women at 551% or greater through the Colorado Hospital Discount Care program. “Our long-time partner, Vail Health, has thoughtfully and carefully helped us navigate the program details. We are grateful for their continued commitment to our community,” said Terri Hanley Reichert, development manager with the Vail Valley Charitable Fund.
