Mobile mammography unit to visit Spirit River, Silver Valley
Alberta Health Services’ mobile mammography trailer will be visiting the Central Peace next month, with the addition of cervical and colorectal cancer screening available on select days in Spirit River.
The mobile mammography unit will be stationed at the Central Peace Health Complex parking lot from October 18-23 and October 25 and 26.
It will then move to the Savanna Agricultural Society Rec-Plex on October 29 where it will offer mammography services.
As part of a partnership between the AHS Screening Programs and Screen Test, which looks to improve access to cancer screening for women in northern Alberta when mammography is not readily available, AHS says the unit will also be offering cervical and colorectal cancer screening on October 19 and 20 at the Central Peace Health Complex.
