Early Detection Saves Lives: How Aslan Health and the Sage Program Are Making Mammograms Accessible

At Aslan Health, we believe that every woman deserves access to life-saving screenings—regardless of her income or insurance status. That’s why we’re proud to be a Sage provider, offering free mammograms and breast cancer screenings through the Minnesota Department of Health’s Sage Program.

Why Breast Cancer Screening Matters

According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States, aside from skin cancers. About 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. But when caught early, breast cancer is highly treatable.

Mammograms can detect breast cancer years before symptoms appear, giving women a better chance of successful treatment and survival. In fact, the 5-year relative survival rate for localized breast cancer (found only in the breast) is 99%.

What Is the Sage Program?

The Sage Program provides free breast and cervical cancer screenings to women who meet income and age guidelines. If you qualify, Sage covers:

  • Mammograms
  • Clinical breast exams
  • Pelvic exams and Pap tests
  • Follow-up diagnostic testing, if needed

At Aslan Health, we provide these services with compassion, respect, and a commitment to whole-person care—nurturing not just the body, but the heart and spirit.

Who Qualifies for Sage?

You may qualify for Sage if you:

  • Are between the ages of 40–64 (younger if you have symptoms or are at higher risk)
  • Don’t have health insurance, or your insurance doesn’t cover these screenings
  • Meet certain income guidelines

If you’re unsure whether you qualify, give us a call—we’ll walk you through it and help you get connected.
