How TETWP works:

Residents of Gunnison and Hinsdale Counties (Lake City) who wish to access TETWP assistance must first go to their healthcare provider.  Those who do not have a health care provider may contact the Public Health offices who will refer them to a physician.  During an office visit with a physician, the physician will determine the need for a mammogram.  Age, family history and personal history are all part of the deciding factors leading to whether a mammogram is needed or not.  Only a physician can help you with this process.  Qualifying for a mammogram or diagnostic breast imaging service is at the physician’s discretion.  Like a prescription for medicine, the physician will fill out an order for a mammogram.  The patient then takes the prescription to Patient Financial Services at Gunnison Valley Health who will provide vouchers for those in need.
