Cruisin' for a Cure

The Marvin Lewis Community Fund proudly supports the ProScan Pink Ribbon Women’s Center in Over-the-Rhine. The center is an American College of Radiology (ACR) accredited mammography screening center and has been open since October of 2005. The center serves all women in the community and has a special passion for serving low-income, uninsured women. The center accepts Medicaid, Medicare and private insurance. Through the Pink Ribbon Mammogram Match program, the center is also able to provide funded mammograms and additional diagnostic tests for those who qualify. 

Since October of 2007, the Marvin Lewis Community Fund has been helping to fund a campaign called "Cruisin for a Cure… Are you on Board?” which aids in breaking down the transportation barrier for women needing mammograms.  We spearheaded an effort along with National City, Baker Concrete, McCluskey Chevrolet,the Cincinnati Bengals, Radio One,Kroger and the Cris Collinsworth ProScan foundationto provide two 15 passenger Pink Vans to drive around the city and take qualified women to and from mammograms and treatment if needed.  The number of women screened at the ProScan Pink Ribbon Women’s Center in Over-the-Rhine continued to rise in 2009.

 

If further diagnostic tests are needed, women can be driven in the vans to the ProScan Pink Ribbon Center Red Bank located at 4850 Red Bank Expressway. There they offer screenings and diagnostic mammograms, breast ultrasound, osteoporosis screening, stereo tactic and ultrasound biopsies.
