NORFOLK, Va., July 1, 2025 — In a significant move to advance women’s health, Kalfus & Nachman has joined forces with Chesapeake Regional Healthcare Breast Center to offer free 3D mammograms to underserved women in Norfolk. This initiative, known as “The Pink Ride,” is scheduled for July 23, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 2:20 PM at the Norfolk office located at 870 N Military Hwy Suite 301.
Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent cancers affecting women, yet financial constraints often prevent many from accessing essential screenings. Recognizing this critical gap, Kalfus & Nachman and Chesapeake Regional Healthcare are stepping in to provide no-cost 3D mammograms, which are considered the gold standard in early detection.
“Early detection saves lives, but access to care shouldn’t depend on your insurance status,” emphasized attorney Paul R. Hernandez. “We’re proud to team up with Chesapeake Regional Healthcare to bring this vital service directly to our community.”
The Importance of Early Detection
Breast cancer screening is pivotal in identifying the disease at an early, more treatable stage. According to the American Cancer Society, women who undergo regular mammograms have a 40% lower risk of dying from breast cancer compared to those who do not. However, the cost of these screenings can be prohibitive for many, particularly those without insurance.
“In the United States, approximately 1 in 8 women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime,” reports the American Cancer Society.
This statistic underscores the necessity of accessible screening options. The Pink Ride initiative aims to bridge this gap by offering free screenings to those who might otherwise forego them due to financial limitations.
Eligibility and Registration
The free 3D mammograms are available to women who meet certain criteria. While the specific eligibility requirements have not been detailed, appointments are required, and slots are expected to fill quickly. Interested individuals are encouraged to register promptly at chesapeakemammo.com to secure their appointment.
Community organizations, local media, and residents are urged to spread the word about this opportunity, especially to those who have delayed mammograms due to cost concerns. This initiative represents a lifeline for women who might otherwise miss out on potentially life-saving screenings.
Commitment to Community Health
With deep roots in Norfolk, Kalfus & Nachman has consistently championed community health initiatives alongside its legal work in personal injury and advocacy. The Pink Ride reflects the firm’s ongoing commitment to providing equitable access to healthcare resources.
Mary Murray, a spokesperson for Kalfus & Nachman, highlighted the firm’s dedication to community service, stating, “Our goal is to eliminate barriers to essential health services and ensure that every woman in Norfolk has the opportunity to receive a mammogram, regardless of her financial situation.”
Looking Ahead
The Pink Ride initiative not only addresses an immediate need but also sets a precedent for future collaborations aimed at improving community health. By providing free access to advanced screening technology, Kalfus & Nachman and Chesapeake Regional Healthcare are paving the way for more inclusive healthcare practices.
As the event approaches, the community is encouraged to rally together to ensure that as many women as possible can take advantage of this opportunity. The success of The Pink Ride could inspire similar initiatives across the country, furthering the cause of accessible healthcare for all.
