Breast cancer accounts for 1 in 3 cancer diagnoses among women worldwide. This means that, for many, a mammogram isn’t just peace of mind, it’s lifesaving. At Seattle/King County Clinic, we’re deeply grateful to Fred Hutch, a world-renowned cancer center, for bringing their mobile mammography van to provide hundreds of free screenings to our patients in need.

Thank you to the incredible staff who make this possible, from the teams who care for patients onsite, the radiologists who thoughtfully read results, and the administrative staff who seamlessly manage the logistics behind the scenes. Because of you, those in our community who don’t always have access to healthcare can get critical answers about their health when it matters most.
