Local Resources

Thanks to donations made during the Austin Race for the Cure, and other local events throughout the year, the Austin Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® is able to provide uninsured and underinsured women in the 5 County area we serve (Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Travis and Williamson Counties) with access to free or low cost breast health services. Through grants to local health care providers, these local health care organizations provide services such as; breast health education, clinical breast exams, mammograms, diagnostic services, treatment support, patient navigation, transportation to and from appointments, emergency financial assistance, and household assistance.

Are you uninsured or underinsured and need a mammogram, clinical breast exam, or have a breast health concern? If so, we can help.
