Mobile mammography service to visit CNP March and April

Women ages 50 to 74 — the group most at risk of developing breast cancer — will have local access to mammography services when Alberta Health Services’ Screen Test program arrives in the community beginning this month.

A mobile mammography trailer will be stationed at the Crowsnest Pass Sports Complex in Coleman, 8702 22 Ave., everyday between March 31 and April 4. Residents can book an appointment or learn more about the program by calling 1-800-667-0604.
Screen Test is improving access to cancer screening for hundreds of women in rural Alberta communities where mammography is not readily available.

A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast and has proven to be the most effective way to detect breast cancer. Early detection allows for a greater number of options for treatment and a better chance of survival.
