SUMMARY:Baraga - Mobile Mammography Unit
DESCRIPTION:Mobile Mammography Unit Returns to  \nKeweenaw Bay Indian Community on September 15-16\, 2025 \n\nThe Corewell Health Mobile Mammography Unit is returning to support the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community September 15 – 16\, 2025. \nThis event is anticipated to screen 96 women in two days.  The mobile mammography unit provides early breast cancer detection services to women ages 40 – 74.  The self-contained mobile screening unit will return to the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community Health System\, providing no-cost breast cancer screening to health center clients\, local Baraga County community members\, and tribal government employees with state-of-the-art 3D mammography screening services.  This includes women of all races in Baraga County\, Michigan. Making an appointment will ensure that this screening is done at no-cost and at a time convenient for you. \nAs you have most likely experienced\, rural women often face challenges when it comes to cancer screenings\, and mammograms can save lives by detecting breast cancer years before physical symptoms appear.  Women who have participated in the mobile mammography event in the Keweenaw Bay have stated\, “You guys are so fantastic year after year. I can’t thank you enough for your professionalism.”  Many others have stated “Quick and easy-I didn’t feel a thing! I never had that experience\, it was great to finally have a good mammogram.” \nScreen for the future of Anishinaabe Kwe and women of all races on the Keweenaw Peninsula. Mammograms are available for insured\, uninsured\, and underinsured women.  If you are uninsured\, underinsured\, or can’t afford your insurance or Medicare Part A deductible please call or text the patient navigator\, Kiana at 231-268-1307\, or call Stacey on our Kwe Brave line at 906-632-6896 ext.106 to enroll in the Michigan Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Navigation Program (BC3NP).  You can also contact Amanda Wiggins at 906-353-4511 to be enrolled in this program. The BC3NP program can arrange and pay for program-eligible women to receive breast cancer screenings at this event\, follow-up care for an abnormal test result\, and treatment should the individual be diagnosed with breast cancer. \nWe had a record turnout last year\, and we want to do the same this year. Appointments are strongly encouraged to ensure everyone receives prompt service.  All women interested in completing their screening at this event at the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community Health System on September 15 – 16\, 2025 should reach out to Amanda Wiggins at 906-353-4511. \nThis women’s health event is a collaborative effort of the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community\, the Inter-Tribal Council of Michigan\, Corewell Health\, and the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. \n###

In honor of Suicide Prevention Month\, players will wear blue socks and cheerleaders will wear blue bows—the color symbolizing suicide awareness and prevention. Before the game\, there will be a memorial ceremony and a keynote message from Jeff Olson\, founder of the Do It for Daniel organization\, who has shared his family’s story across the country to inspire hope\, raise awareness\, and encourage open conversations about mental health and suicide. \n  \n“You are not alone.” \n  \nThis event is more than a football game—it’s about creating a culture of care\, promoting resilience\, and showing our youth and community members that help is available and hope is real. By joining together\, we can reduce stigma\, strengthen connections\, and save lives. \n  \nDate: Friday\, September 26\, 2025 \nLocation: L’Anse High School Football Field \nTheme:  Paint the Field Blue – Suicide Prevention Awareness \nSpeaker: Jeff Olson\, Do It for Daniel \n  \nIf you would like to participate\, volunteer\, or learn more\, please contact: \nKerry at 906-458-1594 \nEmail: kduis@glrc.org \nFacebook: BaragaCountyCTC \n  \nLet’s fill the stands with blue\, honor lives lost\, support one another\, and stand united for suicide prevention in Baraga County. Together\, we can bring awareness\, spread hope\, and help build a future without suicide.
