Thank you for helping us to "Paint the Town Pink" in 2025! Your support means that we can continue to provide mammograms and breast screenings to those most in need.

In 2008, Opelousas General Health System started the "Paint the Town Pink" initiative, a program promoting Breast Cancer Awareness, breast cancer education, and free mammograms for eligible men and women in our community.
Opelousas Team Dressed in Pink Why do we "Paint the Town Pink" in our community?

St. Landry Parish is above the national average for mammography screenings due to availability and access to annual screenings and testing provided by "Paint the Town Pink"!

That's why we can make a difference!

In Louisiana, 1 in 8 women will get breast cancer.
Louisiana has the 3rd highest breast cancer death rate in the country. With regular screening, breast cancer can often be found and stopped early.
Annually, breast cancer has been the leading site of cancer seen at OGHS for over 20 percent of newly diagnosed cancer cases.
