The Joanie Abdu Comprehensive Breast Care Center (JACBCC) Mobile Mammography Unit will be traveling around northeast Ohio throughout the month of May.
The state-of-the-art mobile unit uses the same high-quality technology and equipment to perform the mammogram that can be found in the Joanie Abdu Comprehensive Breast Care Center. It offers 3D mammography, which allows for a more thorough breast examination.
The mobile unit moves from location to location to provide convenient mammography services and even includes patient assisted compression, for a more comfortable experience while in the unit.
The center was created to deliver the most accurate prevention, early detection, diagnosis and support services in the region, and its mobile unit provides easier access to quality care to women all over the Mahoning Valley.

Talk with your doctor about when you should have a screening mammogram. Screening mammograms are usually a covered benefit with most insurance carriers. 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 mammograms, call 330-480-2654. For more information on the Joanie Abdu Comprehensive Breast Cancer Center visit here.
