The New Mexico Department of Health on Friday announced the launch of a new toll-free hotline number (833-525-1811) for breast and cervical cancer screening services and support.
Managed by the Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection program, the hotline will provide direct assistance by connecting individuals to a healthcare clinic that provides such cancer screening services.
Services will be available in languages including Diné, English, Spanish and Vietnamese, among others.
The BCC program provides free breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services through healthcare providers across New Mexico.
One may be eligible for services if you:
• Are low-income;
• Have little or no health insurance;
• Are a woman (including a transgender woman or man).
