ORANGE, Calif. (November 12, 2026) — CalOptima Health is partnering with Alinea Medical Imaging and local providers to bring no-cost mobile mammography screenings to communities across Orange County at eight events through the end of the year. The state-of-the-art mobile units will be on-site at clinics and hospitals, allowing members in CalOptima Health Community Network and Optum, as well as eligible uninsured women, to receive screenings in convenient locations closer to where they live and receive health care.
The effort is part of CalOptima Health’s Comprehensive Community Cancer Screening and Support program, launched in 2023 to reduce late-stage breast, cervical, colorectal and lung cancer diagnoses in Orange County. CalOptima Health contracts with Alinea for accredited digital mobile mammography services that meet members where they already seek care. In total, more than 20 events were planned from August to December.
“Early detection saves lives, and we need to make mammography screening as accessible as possible,” said Supervisor Vicente Sarmiento, Chair of the CalOptima Health Board of Directors and Supervisor of Orange County’s Second District. “By partnering with our local providers, we are removing transportation and scheduling barriers, so more Orange County women can get the mammograms they need.”
“CalOptima Health’s mission is to serve member health with excellence and dignity,” said Richard Lopez Jr., M.D., FACS, Interim Chief Medical Officer. “Bringing mobile mammography directly to neighborhood clinics and hospitals is how we honor that mission — by meeting families where they live and work and making preventive care practical for our most vulnerable residents.”
No-cost mammograms are a covered preventive service for eligible CalOptima Health members. Uninsured women may also qualify through programs such as Every Woman Counts. Members should ask their primary care provider about upcoming events and whether a referral is required. Additional cancer screening information is available at www.caloptima.org/cancer.
