Marshfield Clinic offers Mobile Mammography screenings
Marshfield Clinic’s Mobile Screening Unit delivers state-of-the-art breast cancer and bone density screenings monthly to rural Wisconsin residents whom otherwise would not have easy access to the services.
Providing that type of critical access to mammograms could save lives. For the past two decades, national breast cancer death rates have dropped, possibly due to earlier disease detection and improved treatment options. More than 230,000 women in the U.S. were expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011, an American Cancer Society report said.
Marshfield Clinic’s Mobile Screening Unit will offer digital mammography screenings in February at Marshfield Clinic Merrill Center,1205 O’Day St., Merrill, on Monday, Feb. 11, Friday, Feb. 22, and Thursday, Feb. 28, from 9 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. each day. For an appointment, call 715-539-0101.
Screening is open to anyone, but advance appointments are required.
