Alberta Health Services will be bringing their mobile mammography trailer to the community of Spirit River.

It will be stationed at Central Peace Health Complex on Sept. 3-6 and Sept. 9-13.

A mammogram has proven to be the most effective way to detect breast cancer and early detection allows for a greater number of options for treatment and a better chance of survival.
