Cheyenne, WY— Cheyenne Regional Medical Center’s Medical Imaging Department will be giving away certificates for 10 free digital mammogram breast screenings as part of Cheyenne Frontier Days “Tough Enough to Wear Pink” Day on July 29.
Certificate winners will be selected at random from fans attending that day’s rodeo. Winners will need to pick up their gift certificates from the CFD ticket box south of the rodeo arena by 5 p.m. on July 29. Each certificate is good for a free digital screening mammogram and interpretation. Services are provided by Cheyenne Regional Medical Center and Cheyenne Radiology Group.
