Telfair Mammography Fund

The Telfair Mammography Fund

If cost or lack of insurance has ever kept you from getting a mammogram, you're not alone — and help is available. The Telfair Mammography Fund provides no-cost breast health services, including screening and diagnostic mammograms, breast ultrasounds, MRIs, and more, to uninsured and underinsured women (and men) in our community.

Your health shouldn't depend on your ability to pay, and at St. Joseph's/Candler, we're committed to making sure it doesn't. Below, you'll find more about the fund, how it's supported, and how you can access these life-saving services.

The Telfair Mammography Fund: More Than Just Mammograms

When it comes to women's health, mammograms and additional breast care services are an important part of disease prevention and detection. The Telfair Mammography Fund helps provide underinsured or uninsured women (and sometimes men) with:

  • Screening mammograms
  • Diagnostic mammograms
  • Breast ultrasounds
  • Breast biopsies
  • MRIs
  • Surgical costs (where appropriate)
  • Advanced equipment purchases
  • Radiology imaging services
  • Pathology biopsies and tissue samples

In addition to St. Joseph's/Candler's reduced fees, many radiologists, pathologists, and surgeons have agreed to accept lower fees for patients — extending the longevity of the fund's monies and helping fulfill our mission to serve as many women as possible.

Telfair Breast Imaging Center Locations

Since its inception, the Telfair Mammography Fund has provided thousands of free mammograms and additional breast health services to women who could not otherwise afford them. While the Telfair Mammography Fund alleviates financial barriers to women's health services, our six locations throughout the region increase accessibility by bringing those services closer to home. 

How Is the Fund Supported?

Every year, generous individuals, businesses, and organizations across Savannah come together to keep the Telfair Mammography Fund strong for women who need it most. Below are some of the ongoing efforts that help make no-cost mammograms and breast health services possible for uninsured and underinsured women in our community.
