Alberta Health Services is bringing its mobile breast cancer screening services to Fort Macleod again. The mobile mammography trailer will be parked at the Fort Macleod Health Centre on Dec. 1,2,4 and 5.
Women between the ages of 45 and 74 can make appointments by visiting the Screening For Life website.
“Screen Test is improving access to cancer screening for thousands of women in Alberta communities where mammography is not readily available,” reads a news release from AHS. “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.”
