Mobile mammography unit making stops in Peace region next month

Sep 16, 2023 | 10:00 AM

Alberta Health Services mobile mammography unit will be stationed around Valleyview and in Fairview in October, for women in the region to access their Screen Test program to check their breast health.

Screen Test takes a mammogram, which is an x-ray of the breast to detect breast cancer.

A mammogram has been proven the most effective way to detect cancer and early detection allows for a greater number of treatment options.

The trailer will first be stationed at the Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation Health Centre on October 4, before relocating to the Valleyview Healthcare Centre from October 5-7 and October 10 and 11.

The mobile unit will then be in Fairview at the Fairview Health Complex on October 12 and 13, and October 16-19.
