NORFOLK, Va., July 1, 2025 — In a significant effort to enhance women’s health services, Kalfus & Nachman, in partnership with Chesapeake Regional Healthcare Breast Center, is launching “The Pink Ride” initiative. This collaboration aims to provide free 3D mammograms to underserved women in the Norfolk community. The event is scheduled for July 23, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 2:20 PM at the Kalfus & Nachman office located at 870 N Military Hwy Suite 301.
Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent cancers affecting women, with financial barriers often preventing timely screenings. Recognizing this critical issue, the two organizations are offering 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,” stated attorney Paul R. Hernandez. “We’re proud to team up with Chesapeake Regional Healthcare to bring this vital service directly to our community.”
A Lifesaving Opportunity for Women in Need
The Pink Ride initiative targets women aged 40 and older, in accordance with American Cancer Society guidelines. The free screenings are specifically available to those who are uninsured or underinsured, and who have not had a mammogram in the last 12 months. Appointments are required, and due to limited slots, early registration is encouraged at chesapeakemammo.com.

Why This Matters
3D mammography has been shown to detect 20% to 65% more invasive cancers than traditional 2D imaging. With statistics indicating that
1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime
, early detection is crucial, improving survival rates to over 90%. However, disparities in healthcare access persist, as uninsured women are 30% less likely to receive timely screenings.
Kalfus & Nachman is urging community organizations, local media, and residents to help spread the word, particularly to vulnerable populations. If you know someone who has been delaying a mammogram due to cost, this initiative provides a critical opportunity.
