SOUTHAVEN, Miss. (Sept. 17, 2025) — Baptist Cancer Center-Desoto and Baptist Women’s Health Center will join other regional health care providers for the annual Tanger Pink Party, offering free breast cancer screenings and education from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 20, at Tanger Outlets Southaven.

Uninsured patients can register for screenings with help from Northeast Mississippi Health Care and the Mississippi Breast and Cervical Program. Appointments are encouraged and can be scheduled by calling 901-227-PINK.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to support Baptist Cancer Center’s Patient Assistance Fund, which helps patients cover costs for medication, medical equipment, transportation and other essential needs. Donations of $20 or more will receive a coupon card valid for discounts at participating Tanger Southaven stores throughout October.
