October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Mary Jo Coady is the Mammography Coordinator at Taylorville Memorial Hospital and she discussed a grant that was given to area hospitals to offer free screening mammograms for those who are uninsured or underinsured.

You can schedule your mammogram by calling 707-5550. TMH, according to Coady has various times set aside each week for those that would like a mammogram. 

The TMH Foundation, according to Executive Director Raedena Ryan, helps to fill in the gaps so that no one with poor insurance coverage or no insurance coverage at all has any out of pocket cost for their mammogram.

While fundraising dollars are down a little because of COVID-19, the TMH Foundation has money set aside to support this program, according to Ryan.  

Mary Jo Coady and Raedena Ryan were both guests on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
