How do free mammogram referrals to EAESSI work?
Your clinic sends the patient to our application or contacts us directly. We check her eligibility for EAESSI grant funding and Every Woman's Life, help her book a screening and follow up after results. Free mammogram referrals cost your clinic and your patient nothing.
Refer
Share our application link or call us with the patient's permission.
We check eligibility
Uninsured women 39 to 64 who meet income guidelines.
She gets screened
At a partner site close to home.
We follow up
We stay with her through results and next steps.
Patient has symptoms?
Women with a lump or other symptoms need diagnostic care, not a screening. They may qualify for diagnostic tests through Every Woman's Life. See free diagnostic testing.
The gap
The state helps many. We help fill the gaps.
Why clinics send free mammogram referrals to EAESSI as well as the state program.
Virginia's free screening program serves roughly 6,000 to 7,000 uninsured women a year, and funding limits its reach, according to Citizen Portal.
For women who qualify, Every Woman's Life covers the tests needed to reach a final diagnosis, according to the Virginia Department of Health.

Send them our way. Screening help is free.
"Our referrals often stall."
We stay with each woman until she is screened.
"Some patients don't speak English."
Patients can choose a preferred language when they apply.
"Patients worry about immigration status."
Every Woman's Life does not require a Social Security number, according to Sentara.
