Mobile mammography service to visit Brocket and Fort Macleod in March

Women ages 50 to 74, the group most at risk of developing breast cancer, will have access to mammography services when Alberta Health Services’ Screen Test program arrives in the communities of Fort Macleod and Brocket next month.

Brocket:
A mobile mammography trailer will be stationed at Aakom-Kiyii Health Services, 1860 15th Avenue S, on March 3, 4 and 10. Residents can book an appointment or learn more about the program by calling 1-800-667-0604.

Fort Macleod:
A mobile mammography trailer will be stationed at the Fort Macleod Health Centre, 744 26 Street S, every day between March 11 and 15. 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.
