A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast and has proven to be the most effective way to detect breast cancer. The earlier the cancer is detected the more treatment options will be available for a better chance of survival.
Women age 45 to 74 are the group most at risk of developing breast cancer. Transportation will be available and residents can call 780-594-2472 for medical transport. Residents can book appointments or learn more about the program by calling 1-800-667-0604.
