Saint Thomas Health Mobile Mammography Coach to be at Hilltop Supermarket Saturday, January 12th
Clarksville, TN – The Saint Thomas Health Our Mission in Motion Mobile Mammography Coach will be at Hilltop Supermarket’s parking lot from 9:00am until 3:00pm this Saturday, January 12th, 2019.
The coach provides mammography for women who cannot afford the time away from work for appropriate screenings. It also helps women with no insurance through support from organizations like Susan G. Komen.
Our Mission in Motion Mobile Mammography
“We also take all insurance. If you have insurance and have your mammogram with us you are also making it possible for uninsured women to have their mammogram,” said Patterson. “If you dont have insurance, we have financial assistance available.”
There is a real need for services like this in Tennessee. Nationally, 69% of women get recommended mammography screenings. But in Tennessee, the average is only 42%. This is mainly due to lack of access or easy access.

“We go around to 17 surrounding counties of Nashville preforming mammograms,” Patterson stated. “Our goal is to make it convenient for women to have this done and to reach those uninsured and insured alike.”
“Bringing in the Mobile Mammography Coach is just another way for us to help our local community,” said Hilltop Supermarket manager Mike Jackson. “A lot of women do not have the time to take off from work to have this done. This bus makes it quicker and easier for them.”
The mobile coach will work with corporations to provide on-site screening for women, thus reducing the time away from work from three hours (including drive-time) to approximately 15 minutes.
No appointment needed.
To schedule a coach tour for your corporation, business or community group, call the program coordinator at 615.284.6266 (MAMMO) or email
