Walk-in mammograms Oct. 26 Published Oct. 11, 2012 By Steve Pivnick 81st Medical Group Public Affairs KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. -- Keesler's mammography clinic will be offering a walk-in day - their first "Mammo-thon" - Oct. 26 from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Mammography technologist Kerry Hudson, 81st Diagnostics and Therapeutics Squadron, said the program is for active duty, retirees and their dependents. "If you are 40 years old or older and due for your annual mammogram, just walk in. All beneficiaries are welcome and no appointment is necessary." She stated, "If a patient sees an off-base doctor they can bring an order from the provider and we'll honor it. Patients over age 65 believe they can't receive a mammogram here. That's not true; we just need an order from their provider." Hudson said patients who stop by but are not due for their annual mammogram will be accommodated on a case-by-case basis. The clinic staff plans to offer the "Mammo-thon" every October. The Mammography Clinic is located on the 81st Medical Group Room 1A219, near the A tower entrance.
