Peoples Health Centers is leading the way in improving community healthcare with a new wellness program featuring 3D mammograms and COVID-19 services.
St. Louis, MO – Betty Jean Kerr People’s Health Centers (PHC) is excited to announce a comprehensive wellness initiative that combines cutting-edge breast health technology with vital public health services. The unveiling of PHC’s new state-of-the-art 3D mammography unit and integrated COVID-19 vaccine services will be marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, just ahead of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
This dual-focus initiative underscores PHC’s commitment to providing holistic healthcare services, prioritizing public health and breast health. As the community continues to navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, PHC is dedicated to offering essential resources that support overall well-being.
The new 3D mammography technology represents a significant advancement in breast cancer screening. Offering more detailed imaging enhances the detection of abnormalities, particularly in women with dense breast tissue, leading to earlier diagnoses and improved patient outcomes.

“We are proud to offer this state-of-the-art technology alongside critical COVID-19 vaccine services,” said Dwayne Butler, CEO of Betty Jean Kerr People’s Health Centers. “Our goal is to ensure that our community has access to comprehensive healthcare services that address both immediate public health needs and long-term wellness, especially as we approach Breast Cancer Awareness Month and COVID symptoms continue to rise this season.”
As part of this initiative, People’s Health Centers will provide free mammograms on the day of the event, – more –
COVID-19 vaccines and at-home testing kits with scheduled appointments and limited walk-ins. The Flu vaccine will also be available and provided to individuals based on accepted health insurance or self-pay.
