POINT PLEASANT — Pleasant Valley Hospital has teamed up with the Holzer Center for Cancer Care to offer 20 free mammograms to local women.

The mammograms will be administered on Friday, Oct. 15 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. during “The Power of Pink” Health Fair event. The health fair will take place at New Hope Bible Baptist Church, located at 107 Robinson St. in Point Pleasant.

During the fair, mammograms will be provided to both underinsured and uninsured women. In addition to mammograms, a variety of screenings will be administered by professional healthcare providers. Vendors from various companies will have booths to showcase their products and programs as well. Refreshments and items, including educational materials and door prizes, also will be given out during the health fair.

Funding for the free mammograms is provided through the Susan G. Komen For the Cure organization. Those who attend are encouraged to wear pink attire as pink is the color of breast cancer awareness.

For more information or to schedule a free mammogram, call the PVH Radiology Department at 304-675-4340, ext. 1283.
