Mercy Health mammography van to visit area locations in July

The Joanie Abdu Comprehensive Breast Care Center (JACBCC) Mobile Mammography Unit will be traveling around northeast Ohio throughout July.

The mobile unit moves from location to location to provide mammography services and even includes patient-assisted compression, for a more comfortable experience while in the unit.

The state-of-the-art mobile unit uses the same technology and equipment to perform the mammogram that can be found at the Joanie Abdu Comprehensive Breast Care Center. The mobile unit was the first in eastern Ohio to offer 3D mammography, which allows for a more thorough breast examination.

Talk with your doctor about when you should have a screening mammogram. Screening mammograms are usually a covered benefit with most insurance carriers and do not require a physician order. Financial assistance for mobile screenings is also available.

Certified radiologists read all mammograms and because a second look can mean a second chance, Mercy Health double-checks all mammograms with a computer-aided detection system that detects more breast cancer than mammography alone. Your physician will receive a copy of the results.

For more information or to schedule your mammogram, call 330-480-2654. For more information on the Joanie Abdu Comprehensive Breast Cancer Center visit here.
