Mobile mammography clinic visits High Level's Northwest Health Centre July 14-16
Alberta Health Services is bringing its Screen Test mobile mammography trailer to northern Alberta this week to expand breast cancer screening access.
Why it matters
The mobile clinic gives women in northern Alberta communities easier access to breast cancer screening without having to travel long distances.
Alberta Health Services' Screen Test program has set up a mobile mammography trailer at the Northwest Health Centre in High Level from July 14 to 16, offering breast cancer screening to local residents.
The service targets women aged 45 to 74, the age range Alberta Health Services identifies as being at higher risk for breast cancer and eligible for regular screening.
The mobile unit allows women in the High Level area to access mammography testing locally rather than travelling to larger centres for the screening.
