JRMClogoJamestown (CSi)  No time? No Insurance? No support team? No excuses. Together, JRMC, JRMC Foundation, Central Valley Health and ND Women’s Way have partnered to eliminate barriers to allow you to receive the care you need. On Tuesday, June 14th from 8 am to 5 pm, JRMC and Central Valley Health are hosting a screening and mammogram day at Jamestown Regional Medical Center. No appointments needed.

 

JRMC Foundation and Women’s Way pay for mammograms and advanced screening technology for uninsured and underinsured women in the region. The mammograms are paid for by the annual “RM Stoudt Running of the Pink” 5/10K walk and run each June and other special events. We want women to find breast cancer early. It can mean the difference between having a lumpectomy and a mastectomy, needing chemotherapy or not, and having radiation or no radiation.

 

What is the process?

You are welcome to schedule in advance by calling (701) 952-4878, however, no appointment is needed. Please arrive to the JRMC Clinic on Tuesday, June 14th and check-in at the registration desk. They will be expecting you. Our teams will assist in coordinating your care to ensure there are no barriers.

 

What should I expect?

For Screening and Mammogram Day, you can expect to be registered at JRMC. Please have a form of ID ready. Next, you will  have a physical exam by a provider from Central Valley Health. This is only required if you do not have a primary physician. After your exam, you will receive a 3D mammogram from one of JRMC’s qualified mammography technicians. Mammograms are quick, about 5-10 minutes. Any discomfort from breast

compression is brief.

 

Why do I have to have a screening? 

To receive your mammography results, an appointment and initial screening or primary care visit is necessary. Your initial screening can include seeing a provider at Central Valley Health at JRMC on Screening and

Mammogram Day.
