Featuring no-cost mammograms for eligible patients in East Boston and the South End
WHAT:
NeighborHealth will host a special two-day series of community events in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, focused on breast health, prevention and access to care. Held in partnership with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Ellie Fund, the events will offer no-cost mammograms for eligible NeighborHealth patients, along with food, raffle prizes, giveaways and children’s activities.
Eligible patients may sign up in advance for a mammogram, and NeighborHealth’s team will follow up by email or phone to confirm registration. Walk-ins are also welcome. People who are not yet NeighborHealth patients may enroll in advance or be connected with a primary care provider when they arrive so they can become eligible for a no-cost mammogram.
Community members can register here for a mammogram on October 13 or 14, 2026.
