To qualify for the free screening, women must be uninsured, 40 years or older and call in advance. Space is limited.
Women will receive their results from Sutter Davis Imaging within several days after their visit. Sutter Davis Imaging will connect women who have an abnormal result to local not-for-profit agencies with which Sutter regularly partners so patients may take next steps and receive follow-up care.
