LOUISVILLE, Ky. – UofL Health is proud to be a sponsor of the 2024 Kentucky State Fair. Come visit the UofL Health booth located in the Health Horizons section located in South Wing B. We will be open daily from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. from Thursday, Aug. 15 to Sunday, Aug. 25 for health screenings, demos, education and more!
UofL Health – Brown Cancer Center will be providing mammogram screenings at the Kentucky State Fair for the 33rd year. Our mobile cancer screening van has been removing access barriers by reaching women in their communities, churches, schools, places of business—providing screening mammography and saving lives. To qualify for a screening mammogram on the mobile unit, a woman must:
- Be 40 years of age or older
- Not have any current, active breast problems
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding
- Not have breast implants
- Not have had a mammogram in the last 12 months
- Have a physician to whom the results can be sent
The annual screening could save your life. In 2017, Leigh Rae Kmiec was diagnosed with breast cancer during her visit, but early detection and treatment saved her life:
In addition to mammogram screenings, visit the UofL Health experts for other health screenings, demos and education throughout this 11-day event. See our full Kentucky State Fair schedule below for specific offerings and times:
