Red Bud, Illinois — Red Bud Regional Hospital is proud to partner with the Illinois Department of Public Health’s Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (IBCCP) to offer free mammograms to uninsured women in the community.

IBCCP is a statewide initiative that provides free breast cancer screenings to women who are uninsured or underinsured. The program also helps eligible participants access treatment benefits through the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, when needed.

Women are encouraged to apply for this program if lack of insurance—or limited coverage—has been a primary reason for delaying care. Criteria includes being between the age of 40-64, residing in Illinois, and being uninsured or underinsured (insurance does not cover breast cancer screening). There is no income requirement to qualify for screening services through IBCCP.

To see if you qualify to receive a no-cost mammogram, contact the Jackson County Health Department at 618-684-3143 ext. 151. Jackson County Health Department is the Lead Agency for IBCCP and will work to enroll women in the program and coordinate their care. Eligible participants can have their mammograms performed at Red Bud Regional Hospital.
