Preventative Screening Mammography Program

The PNW Preventative Screening Mammography Campaign is now being offered both in the Spring and Fall.

In an effort to increase mammogram screenings and awareness, PNW, in conjunction with Franciscan Health, is providing no-cost screening mammograms to benefits-eligible employees and their covered spouses.

Purdue’s health plans are administered by AmeriBen in conjunction with Anthem. Inc., cover preventive (nondiagnostic) screening mammograms for females ages 41 to 70. Those age 40 or under should talk to their provider about when to start and how often to get a screening mammogram.

To review eligibility requirements and to schedule an appointment with Franciscan Health, visit Employee Wellness’s webpage. No individual participant information will be shared with PNW.

Fall mammogram appointments need to be scheduled by Friday, September 11, 2026.

Fall mammogram screening appointment dates are October 5, 2026, to October 16, 2026, at the following locations:

• Franciscan Health Cancer Center, Munster, 701 Superior Drive, Munster
• Franciscan Health Michigan City, 3500 Franciscan Way, Michigan City
• Franciscan Health Women’s Center, 770 Indiana Boundary Road, Chesterton
• Franciscan Health Breast Care Center, 1201 South Main Street, Crown Point
• Franciscan Health Michigan City at LaPorte, 1010 W. State Rd. 2, LaPorte

During this campaign, employees will be provided up to 90 minutes of paid time off (with supervisor approval) during their regularly scheduled shift to allow for travel to a designated location, screening time and travel back to campus. The employee does not need to make up the paid time off.
