Mobile mammography service to visit Brooks this month
BROOKS — Alberta Health Services’ Screen Test program will be in Brooks later this month to provide screening mammograms to eligible individuals.
A mobile mammography trailer will be at the Brooks Health Centre (440 3 St. E) on March 15-16, March 26-28, and April 1-6.
Appointments are required. Call 1-800-667-0604 to book an appointment or learn more about the program.
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.
