Bonnie's Bus Announces Initial Stops in August with Pair of Visits Slated to Take Place in Region
By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on July 07, 2026
Bonnie's Bus mobile mammography units will visit Lincoln and Preston counties offering three-dimensional (3D) digital screening mammograms and breast care education to women.
A service of WVU Medicine-WVU Hospitals and the WVU Cancer Institute, Bonnie’s Buses will be at:
- Southern West Virginia Health Systems at Lincoln Primary Care Center in Hamlin from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 4. For more information, call 304-752-8081, ext. 2009.
- West Preston Primary Care in Kingwood from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 6. For an appointment, call 304-864-0006.
- Newburg Clinic from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 7. For an appointment, call 304-892-2812.
The screening mammograms are billed to private insurance, Medicaid, or Medicare, if available. Patients who are underinsured or uninsured and meet enrollment criteria will be assisted in enrolling in the West Virginia Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program (WVBCCSP) to cover the cost of their screening mammogram.
Uninsured women living in West Virginia who are 40 and older can receive a free screening mammogram on the Bus through the generosity of grant funding and donations. A physician’s order is needed for a mammogram.
Bonnie’s Bus has provided more than 34,000 mammograms for women throughout West Virginia and led to the detection of more than 202 cases of breast cancer since 2009. Many of those screened are underinsured or uninsured and qualify for screening through the WVBCCSP.
Bonnie’s Bus works in collaboration with a statewide partnership of clinicians, public health professionals, women’s groups, and other community leaders working to help reduce the number of deaths from breast cancer in West Virginia.
