The Marion County Breast & Cervical Cancer Screening Program (BCCS) and YWCA ENCOREplus program will be present to discuss their no-hassle, no-cost women's health check and mammogram program. This program is for low-income women with no medical insurance between the ages of 40 and 64.

YWCA ENCOREplus will provide information on their new program – “Coffee, Tea, & Me” – designed as a fun way for a small group of friends to get together to learn about breast health issues and the importance of early detection.
