Free mobile mammogram clinic coming to Diamond Valley and Taber

The mobile mammography program provides free breast cancer screening in 120 communities across Alberta.

Screen Test’s mobile unit is scheduled to visit Taber from Aug. 13 to 21, with a stop in Diamond Valley from Sept. 3 to 6.

Women aged 45 to 74 with no noticeable breast problems or symptoms are encouraged to get screened every two years and can book a mammogram without a referral or requisition.

According to AHS, regular mammograms are the best way to detect breast cancer early, when treatment is most effective.

They can find lumps two to three years before they can typically be felt by a health care provider.

Appointments can be made by calling 1-800-667-0604.
