Women wanting a free exam were able to go to the Temple Baptist Church. All they had to do was fill out paperwork.

Nurse Educator, Marti Whitehead, says you need to get your exams done now if you haven't already. "It's so important that women receive their first annual mammogram screenings." Whitehead said.

The American Cancer Society says some women, because of their family history, a genetic tendency, or certain other factors, should be screened with an MRI in addition to mammograms.
