Primary Care Alberta’s Screen Test program will be in Grimshaw and Peace River next month to provide screening mammograms to eligible individuals aged 45 to 74.
A mobile mammography trailer will be at the following locations:
-
Grimshaw: Grimshaw Berwyn Community Health Complex (5621 Wilcox Road) Aug. 21-23
-
Peace River: Peace River Community Health Centre (10101 68 Street) Aug. 25-27
Screening is available at no cost for eligible individuals, but appointments are required. Call 1-800-667-0604 to book an appointment and 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.
Screen Test is improving access to cancer screening for thousands of individuals in Alberta communities where mammograms are not readily available.
