Next month, people in two northern Alberta communities can access mobile mammograms.
Primary Care Alberta’s Screen Test program will be in Grimshaw and Peace River to provide mammogram screenings for those eligible aged 45 to 74. The Screen Test Program focuses on improving access to cancer screening for those in communities where mammograms are not readily available, as screening mammograms are the best way to find breast cancer early on, possibly allowing for treatment to work better.
The mobile mammography screenings will be at the Grimshaw Berwyn Community Health Complex from August 21st to 23rd and the Peace River Community Health Centre from August 25th to 27th.
Appointments will be required to book a screening and can be done by calling 1-800-667-0604 or online.
