Free or Low-Cost Mammogram or Treatment

While Komen Phoenix is not a direct service provider of mammograms or breast cancer treatment, we are committed to providing our community with access to these vital resources.

Well Woman HealthCheck Program
Arizona’s Well Woman HealthCheck Program, a state-wide program that provides free cancer screening to those that qualify, is the first contact for women with no health insurance and no diagnosis of breast cancer. The program is operated by the Arizona Department of Health Services through a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Women on the program may receive a Clinical Breast Exam, Mammogram, Pelvic Exam and Pap Test. To qualify, call:
In Maricopa County - 602-506-3000
Outside Maricopa County - 1-888-257-8502

Komen Community Grants
Women who do not qualify for the Well Woman HealthCheck Program may be eligible for screening or treatment through one of Komen Phoenix’s community grant recipients. Please contact the following organizations directly to determine eligibility.
