Our Mission in Motion Mobile Mammography

Ascension Saint Thomas is dedicated to expanding access to breast care through Middle Tennessee's only Mobile Mammography program. Launched in 2011 with an initial grant from The Susan Komen Foundation, the program has grown through generous philanthropic support from The Christy-Houston Foundation, Inc., the AST and ASTR Foundations, and events like Wine Around the Square. This support has enabled the addition of a second coach and 3D technology, enhancing screenings. To date, more than 24,000 screenings have been provided across 26 counties, with demand increasing each year. Our Mission in Motion is a mobile health outreach initiative that brings life-saving breast health services directly to businesses and underserved communities. The program provides: • Free mammograms and clinical breast exams for uninsured and underinsured women • Health education and resources about breast cancer prevention and early detection • Outreach to rural counties, improving access and equity • Navigation support for follow-up diagnostics and treatment With a strong commitment to serving uninsured, low-income, and minority women, Ascension Saint Thomas continues to expand access and affordability in breast health, ensuring that philanthropy directly translates into life-saving care.
