Residents in Manning and area will be able to access mammography services when the Alberta Health Services Screen Test program arrives in the community later this month.
The unit will be stationed at the Manning Community Health Centre (600 2 Street NW) on September 8 and 9.
Women aged 50-74 are the most at risk at developing breast cancer and early detection through a mammogram can allow for a greater amount of treatment options and a better chance of survival.
Screen Test is improving access to cancer screening for hundreds of women in northern Alberta communities where mammography is not readily available.
Residents can book an appointment or learn more about the program by calling 1-800-667-0604. Due to Covid-19, Screen Test is taking a number of precautions to ensure the safety of clients and staff. Details will be shared when you call to book an appointment.
