Local Resources

Thanks to donations made during the Austin Race for the Cure, and other local events throughout the year, Komen Austin is able to fund grants to local providers.  These grantees provide services such as free or low-cost mammograms, transportation to appointments, and household assistance.

Free or Low Cost Mammogram Providers

If you are a woman with no insurance, who is under-insured or can’t afford the co-pays of your insurance company, Komen Austin has providers that you can see to get a free or low cost mammogram, clinical exam or both.  If you have found a lump and need to have a medical examination, please call. The provider will talk to you to determine if the services will be free of charge or at a very low cost. The provider you see is based on your county of residence. Also please note if you have MAP (Medical Assistance Program) coverage, you are not eligible for this program. All providers have English and Spanish speakers. If one of these centers is unable to help you, they will refer you to someone who can. Young women - if you have found a lump please see our additional list of providers.
