The mobile mammography trailer will be in the Hythe community in October. The mobile clinic will be at the Hythe Legion from October 23rd to 25th, providing cancer screening for women aged 45 to 74 through the Screen Test program.
Alberta Health Services says this age group is most at risk for developing breast cancer, and the x-ray of the breast, known as a mammogram, is a proven way to catch it early on.
“Early detection allows for a greater number of options for treatment and a better chance of survival.”
Appointments can be booked by calling 1-800-667-0604. More information can be found on the Screening for Life website.
