EDMONTON ZONE — Women ages 50-74 — the group most at risk of developing breast cancer — will have local access to mammography services when the Alberta Health Services Screen Test program arrives in the community.
A mobile mammography trailer will be stationed at two locations early August.
Appointments are required. For the Stony Plain dates, residents can book an appointment or learn more about the program by calling 1-800-667-0604. For the Enoch Cree Nation dates, residents can call 780-470-5440 to book an appointment.
Screen Test is improving access to cancer screening for hundreds of women in Alberta communities where mammography is not readily available.
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.
Due to COVID-19, Screen Test is taking a number of precautions to ensure the safety of our clients and staff. Details will be shared when you call to book your appointment.
