July 6 registration deadline for preventive mammogram screenings nears

July 6 is the deadline to register for a preventive mammogram screening offered through the partnership between Purdue University and the 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. The screening campaign is available to females (employee and/or spouse) only.

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

• July 13 (W): 7 a.m.-5:50 p.m.
• July 14 (Th): 7 a.m.-5:50 p.m.
• July 15 (F): 7 a.m.-4:50 p.m.
• July 16 (Sa): 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) by July 6. Callers will be asked for location of exam (Lafayette) and type of exam (screening mammogram). 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 Mammograms matter webpage.   

Earn Healthy Boiler incentive dollars

As a reminder, mammograms are included in the 2022 Healthy Boiler incentive as one of the optional well-being screenings in Step 2. Therefore, those who get their mammogram screening – either through this campaign or at another time in 2022 – and log completion into the Healthy Boiler portal are eligible for additional incentive dollars. More information on how to earn incentives via the Healthy Boiler Program is available online.
