If you have a referral for a mammogram

UI Health offers walk-in mammograms every weekday at the Mile Square Health Center–Main location from noon to 4 pm.

If you do not have a referral for a mammogram

We offer extended walk-in hours – 9 am to 3 pm – the second Wednesday of every month for patients without a referral.

No appointments are necessary. Financial assistance available for qualified patients.

For more information about walk-in mammograms, our community navigators are here to help:

If you plan to visit UI Health for a mammogram, please remember:

• Avoid lotions, perfumes, or deodorant on your chest area.
• You can take over-the-counter pain medication 30 to 45 minutes before your appointment to manage any mammogram-related pain.
• Avoid caffeinated beverage two to three days before your mammogram, as caffeine makes breast sensitive.

Walk-in mammograms are for yearly screening mammograms only. If you have a wide-ranging breast health history that may include:

• Dense breast tissue
• Fibrocystic breasts (breast cysts)
• Previous abnormal mammogram
• Experiencing pain, lumps, or discomfort in your breasts

Please make an appointment with a provider. You can also call one of our navigators for assistance.
