Coconis Supports Free Mammogram Screening Program

Coconis Furniture-Mattress 1st has announced its partnership with Genesis HealthCare System and a local NBC affiliate WHIZ TV to offer area women free mammogram screenings. 

This year, 80 mammogram vouchers were given to women who otherwise could not afford a screening. The response was hampered somewhat as a result of the pandemic, COVID-19.  Last year, 88 women were able to take advantage of the program.

“It’s great that we’re able to partner up with so many awesome organizations and offer this important service to area women,” said Randy Coconis, president. “Early detection is so critical. Last year we had a lady stop by the store to thank us for offering the vouchers. She explained that she had taken one for her daughter who later learned that she had early stages of breast cancer. We were so thankful that a program like this can make such a difference.”

Contributions for the program were made by area businesses and individuals, plus several furniture manufacturers including Serta Simmons Bedding, Ashley and Homestretch. Other local organizations such as the Southeastern Ohio Breast and Cervical Cancer Project and Radiology Associates of Southeastern Ohio also provided support for the project. Genesis HealthCare System assisted by reducing the normal cost of each mammogram for this program.

Plans to continue the free mammogram program in 2021 are being made with a goal of assisting over 100 women in southeast Ohio.
