McElligott says that a woman interested in the program may contact her or Pioneer Memorial Clinic and she will contact the Soroptimists to obtain day care and transportation costs. She stresses that the program is The Soroptimist International of Heppner and the Morrow County Health Department are teaming up for a project that could be a life saver for area women. The two organizations are working together to finance the cost of obtaining mammograms and pelvic exams for women who are eligible. According to Soroptimist Ann Spicer, the early detection of cancer in women has been one of the club's projects since a regional officer of the group died of breast cancer. The local group has become even more involved since two of their members have had cancer, one passing away just last year. Soroptimist International of Heppner has financed mammograms for the past two years, but now the Morrow County Health Department (MCHD) has funding for mammograms and exams. So, the Soroptimists are now using their money to provide transportation and child care costs for those qualifying for exams. Laura McElligott, RN and director of MCHD, and Spicer agree that finances can be a big barrier in getting a mammogram and an exam. Even if the tests are paid for, sometimes the costs of child care and transportation are prohibitive. Women are eligible if they are 40 or over or under 40 if they have a family history of cancer or are recommended by their physician; have no insurance and are not eligible for Medicare or if they have insurance, but cannot afford the deductible or co-pay. Financial eligibility guidelines are specify that income is at or below 250 percent of the federal poverty level as follows: family confidential and names of women participating will not go out into the community. "The idea is to detect these things early," says Spicer. "The longer you wait (if you have cancer), the harder it will be, and the more invasive the surgery," added McElligott. McElligott says that one in eight women will have breast cancer sometime in their lifetime and eight women have died in Morrow County of cancer during the past 10 years. For more information on the program, to apply or to offer ideas on how to increase the number of women participating, call MCHD, 676-5421.
