Steinberg Diagnostics Joins Caravan for Mammogram

FREE Breast Screenings for Caravan Participants

Las Vegas Black Image will host the 8th Annual Las Vegas Caravan for Mammogram, a free event taking place October 4 in the Valley Hospital parking lot at 700 Shadow Lane. The festivities begin at 8 a.m. 

Las Vegas Caravan for Mammogram was founded by Las Vegas Black Image publisher Kimberly Bailey Tureaud, a longtime advocate for preventative health care. 

“Every study shows that Black women die disproportionately from breast cancer, and early detection is critical to defeating and surviving this terrible disease” says Bailey Tureaud. “We are determined to remind women in our community to take care of their breast health and be proactive with preventive measures.” 

This year’s Caravan for Mammogram will also feature an important addition: for the first time, Steinberg Diagnostics will provide FREE breast screenings for those who wish to take advantage of this wonderful offer. Ladies who wish to take part in the breast screenings must bring an official medical order from their personal OB-GYN to the event. 

More than 200 Black women come together each October for the Las Vegas Caravan for Mammogram, gathering to decorate their cars in pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The ladies drive their cars and caravan down the Las Vegas Strip in parade formation to remind all women to take care of their breast health with annual mammograms and medical checkups. 

There is no cost for participating in Caravan for Mammogram, and all participating ladies will receive a big pink bag full of decorations to decorate their cars. There will also be a wonderful free lunch at the end of the caravan, where participants and community members can dine together and network.
