The program will include free clinical breast exams by a nurse practitioner, educational materials, one-on-one counseling with a registered nurse and a $10 gift card from Shop ‘N Save for all eligible women who complete the screening.

The breast screenings are made possible by the Ticket for the Cure Fund administered through the Illinois Department of Public Health, Office of Women’s Health. Alton Memorial Hospital received a $30,000 grant this year to offer a series of breast health screenings throughout the region.
