Celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a Free Mammogram

September 25, 2025 – Sulphur Springs, Texas – October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation has a great gift for the community. The cost of 75 mammograms will be covered in a free clinic using proceeds from Designer Handbag Bingo.

Uninsured Hopkins County women age 40 and older may call (903) 438-4325 to schedule while spots are available. Sign-ups began September 2 and more than half of the spots have been taken. Call Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. to reserve.

Mammograms are a powerful form of self-care, but they also make the perfect excuse for a day of pampering. Fill the day with friends, treats, shopping – all the things that bring joy!

All screenings will be performed at the Ruth & Jack Gillis Women’s Center inside CHRISTUS Mother Frances – Hospital Sulphur Springs. Clinic dates are set for every Friday of October.

The Foundation has worked to improve local healthcare since 1997, offering free educational resources, programs, and clinics, while also funding major equipment, programs, and construction for the local nonprofit hospital, CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs, and the state special district Hopkins County Hospital District/EMS.

Mammograms make the perfect girls’ day! Practice self-care and call (903) 438-4325 to schedule a free mammogram, courtesy of the Hopkins County Health Care Foundation. This free clinic is for uninsured Hopkins County women age 40 and older.
