Free Mammogram Screenings in Birmingham

The Magic City Chapter of the Links, Incorporated, is hosting free mammogram screenings this Saturday to help catch breast cancer early. It's part of their National Fight Like a Link program, open to men and women in the Birmingham community. The goal is to make it easy for everyone to get checked, no matter their background. These screenings tackle big hurdles people face, like fear of pain, worry it won't happen to them, or just putting it off. Chapter President, Dr. Autumn Jeter points out that early detection saved her from potential problems when benign tumors were found during her. Check them. Local women have shared success stories too. Chapter members caught cancer early through screenings and are now doing well in their lives. This shows how timely tests can make a real difference in health outcomes. Meanwhile, Alabama lawmakers stepped up during the 2026 legislative session. They passed a bill that forces most health insurance plans to cover breast cancer screenings and follow-up tests with no copays, deductibles, or co-insurance for patients.
