The event is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Kingdom Builders Impact, 219 James St., Bridgeport.
The latest American Cancer Society guidelines recommend all women have a mammogram by age 40, and then every year thereafter.
Mammograms are free for those who do not have health insurance, have financial limitations, and qualify for assistance. For those who do not have insurance but do not qualify for free services, mammograms are discounted. No prescription is needed and appointments are recommended, but walk-ins are welcome. For those who have insurance, please bring your card at time of visit.
To schedule an appointment or find out when the mobile mammography unit will be in your area, call the St. Vincent's SWIM Women's Imaging Center at (203) 576-5500.
The mobile mammography program, one of the largest free mammography screening programs in Fairfield County, is made possible through St. Vincent's SWIM Across the Sound, Connecticut's leader in cancer education, prevention screenings, and support services in the area. Other organizations that also help provide mammography screening support include the Susan G. Komen Southern New England, The National Breast Cancer Foundation, Near and Far Aid and Pink Aid.
