"We recommend annual screenings starting at age 40," Dr. Murray Rebner, a Beaumont radiologist, said. "We know getting regular annual mammograms can save lives."
Studies show women under 50 years old tend to develop more aggressive forms of breast cancer, experts said.
The event is first come, first served, and space is limited, officials said.
Patients must have a paper or electronic prescription for a screening mammogram to participate.
