Breast Care Screening Fund
We believe that early detection of breast cancer is essential for successful treatment and recovery. We also know that not every patient has the financial resources available for a potentially life-saving screening mammogram. Each year, The W.S. & E.C. Jones Breast Care Center establishes a special fund to assist our community residents who need assistance.
Residents of our service area of Lyon, Coffey, Chase, Morris, Osage, or Greenwood counties are eligible. The program was developed to assist patients with no insurance coverage and/or who are ineligible for Early Detection Works (EDW) funding (this includes if EDW grant funds are exhausted). The funds are for screening mammograms only at the W.S. & E.C. Jones Breast Care Center.
A patient must first apply for Early Detection Works funding through the Kansas Department of Health and Environment at https://www.kdhe.ks.gov/826/Early-Detection-Works or by calling 1-877-277-1368.
If patients do not qualify for EDW funding, the Breast Care Screening Fund may be able to help. To apply, download the application, and follow the instructions to be considered.
