We are try ing to increase mammograms in Houston County by at least 20 per cent,” said Jones. To do this, Jones said the Houston Healthcare Complexes and the Ameri can Cancer Society plan to identify women who are unable to afford mammograms. “We plan to get them into programs which offer low cost of free mammo grams.
