Did you know it takes less than 10 minutes to order an Indiana Breast Cancer Plate, and $25 of that cost goes directly to helping our community access life-saving breast screenings and diagnostics? 💗🚙

We’re proud to share that the Hancock Health Women’s Clinic has once again received a generous grant from the Indiana Breast Cancer Awareness Trust (IBCAT) to support uninsured and underinsured women in our community. Thanks to this funding, we can continue to provide access to critical services, including mammograms, ultrasounds, breast biopsies, and MRIs. 🩺

Since 2002, Indiana drivers have helped raise over $7 million through this specialty plate, funding breast health services and even college scholarships for students impacted by breast cancer. Ordering is quick and easy at any BMV branch, BMV Connect kiosk, or online at IN.gov/BMV. 🔗

And remember, the Hancock Health Women’s Clinic is open to ALL women, both insured and uninsured. Call (317) 468-4641 to schedule an appointment. 📞
