There's still time to register for preventive mammogram screenings

Friday (June 9) is the deadline to register for a preventive mammogram screening offered through the partnership between Purdue, the Center for Healthy Living and Franciscan St. Elizabeth Health 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 St. Elizabeth Health Breast Center, 3920 St. Francis Way, Suite 215, Lafayette, during the following days and times:

• Monday (June 12): 7 a.m. to 6:20 p.m. 
• Tuesday (June 13): 7 a.m. to 6:20 p.m.
• Wednesday (June 14): 7 a.m. to 6:20 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 St. Elizabeth Health at 765-423-6170 (option 2) by Friday. 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.
