There’s still time to register for preventive mammogram screenings; deadline is Wednesday

This Wednedsay (June 5) is the deadline to register for a preventive mammogram screening offered through the partnership between Purdue, the Center for Healthy Living and Franciscan Health Lafayette Breast Center.

Benefits-eligible employees at the West Lafayette campus and their covered spouses are eligible to register, but priority will be given to those who have not had a screening in two years or more.

Screenings will take place at Franciscan Health Lafayette Breast Center, 3920 St. Francis Way, Suite 215, Lafayette, during the following days and times:

• June 12: 7 a.m.-6 p.m.
• June 13: 7 a.m.-6 p.m.
• June 14: 7 a.m.-5 p.m.
• June 15: 7:30 a.m.-3:10 p.m.

Purdue will offer up to 90 minutes of paid time off -- with supervisor approval -- for employees who wish to take advantage of the screening sessions.  

Employees or covered spouses can register for an appointment by calling Franciscan Health Lafayette Breast Center at 765-423-6170 (option 2). Registrants will be screened to ensure they are appropriate candidates. No individual participant information will be shared with Purdue.

Additional information, including FAQs and a guide for supervisors, is available on the Center for Healthy Living’s website.
