AHS mobile mammography unit tours Peace Region communities this week
Alberta Health Services' Screen Test program is bringing breast cancer screening directly to residents across northern Alberta's Peace Region.
Why it matters
The mobile unit gives rural and smaller Peace Region communities easier access to breast cancer screening close to home.
Alberta Health Services' Screen Test program is sending its mobile mammography unit on a tour of multiple communities across the Peace Region over the coming week, according to AHS.
The mobile unit allows residents in smaller communities to access breast cancer screening services without needing to travel to a larger centre for the appointment.
Details on specific stops and dates were not fully outlined in available information, but the unit is expected to move between several Peace Region locations during its run.
