The next free screenings will be done on Thursday, July 17th.  The deadline for submitting an application is Friday, June 20th.  All free screenings are awarded based on financial need.

The simple, seven question applications are available at Margaret's Clothing store, Winneshiek Medical Center, Gundersen Decorah Clinic or online at http://bit.ly/WCCOLFreeMammo  Completed applications need to be dropped off at Margaret's Clothing store in Decorah or mailed to WCCOL at P.O. Box 314, Decorah, Iowa 52101 by Friday, June 20th.

Funding for free mammogram screenings is through Winneshiek County Celebration of Life, a community effort to raise money for breast cancer awareness and prevention. Through business sponsorships, individual donations and memorials, the Winneshiek County area has supported
the health of their own mothers and daughters, nieces and sisters, friends and neighbors. In 2013, Winneshiek County Celebration of Life helped over 90 local women obtain preventive screenings.
