MOBILE, Ala. -- The Mobile County Health Department’s Mobile Unit will be at three Walmart locations during October offering free clinical breast examinations to those without insurance and the underinsured between the ages of 40 and 64. The medical clinic on wheels features two state-of-the-art exam rooms.

Along with breast examinations, some participants may be eligible to enroll in a program known as Wise Woman to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. This service is free and will provide medical screenings to evaluate blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels.
