Mobile mammography service to visit Olds

The Screen Test Program’s mobile mammography service is coming to Olds this December.

The service provides mammograms to eligible individuals aged 45-74 and will be held at the Olds Hospital and Care Centre, located at 3901 57 Avenue, from December 1-5 and December 7.

A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. Screening mammograms are the best way to find breast cancer early when treatment may work better. Getting screened for breast cancer saves lives, Primary Care Alberta notes.

Screening is available at no cost for eligible individuals, but appointments are required. Call 1-800-667-0604 to book an appointment or learn more about the program.
