screen for life program
St. Francis has developed the Screen for Life program, funded by the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, to provide free mammography screenings and diagnostics to women who either
do not have medical insurance or are financially unable to pay. Qualifiers must
be Upstate residents and be referred from physicians or free clinics that have
privileges at St. Francis. The program also seeks to alert high-risk populations
in the Upstate, like African American and Hispanic women,of the benefits of early
breast cancer detection.
