Mammography Assistance
Making Access to Mammography Easier
Now there is no reason for any woman not to have an annual mammogram due to
financial constraints.
The Charlotte Johnson Hollfelder Foundation covers the cost of mammograms
for women with little or no health insurance. Since 1996, the Foundation has
helped hundreds of Connecticut women get access to mammography – a critical
tool in the early detection of breast cancer.
Along with providing free mammograms for women who could not otherwise
afford them, the Foundation also supports breast cancer education programs.
To receive assistance, mention the Hollfelder Foundation at the time of scheduling your mammogram appointment.
To make an appointment, call 860-679-2784 or 860-282-8523.
Mammograms are offered through the Health Center’s
Department of Diagnostic Imaging and Therapeutics, conveniently located on
the main floor of the UConn Health Center in Farmington and at UConn Health
Partners, 99 Ash Street, East Hartford.
In Honor of Charlotte Johnson Hollfelder
 Charlotte Hollfelder was a generous
and vibrant woman who survived breast cancer, and died of an unrelated illness. She was a tireless volunteer who cared deeply about the UConn Health Center and its mission of service to the
community. In honor of her beautiful life and her courageous fight against breast cancer, her husband, Fred, established the Charlotte Johnson Hollfelder Foundation to help other women overcome
breast cancer. Along with providing free mammograms for women who could not otherwise afford them, the Charlotte Johnson Hollfelder Foundation also supports breast cancer education programs.
