Health officials say screening mammograms are one of the most effective tools for detecting breast cancer early, when treatment is more likely to be successful.

The Screen Test program helps improve access to breast cancer screening in Alberta communities where mammography services are not readily available through permanent facilities.

Eligible residents can also access screening through participating radiology clinics and some hospitals across the province.

Officials encourage individuals to speak with their health-care provider about their breast cancer risk and whether routine screening is appropriate.

The mobile clinic is operated as part of Alberta’s Screening for Life program, which aims to increase access to preventive cancer screening services in rural and underserved communities.

A schedule of all communities hosting the mobile mammography trailer is available here.
