Saskatchewan Cancer Agency will be bringing their mobile mammography unit to Creighton. Known as Breast Check – this breast cancer screening opportunity is designed for women over the age of 40 with no symptoms. Laurie Pearce, early detection coordinator gives us the details.

" They don't need a health care provider  referral , so that is very convenient. So we encourage women to book while it is in there community, so they don't have to travel a great distance to have a screening. The goal is early detection saves lives,  and by having regular screenings and if there was something there we would find it early. It would likely be more treatable and the outcomes would be better."

The mobile bus where the mammograms take place will be at the Creighton Sportex parking lot from August 17-21. You must have an active Saskatchewan Health card to book. Appointments are limited so they ask that you reserve a spot early. Call 1855-584-8228 to confirm a time for a screening mammogram.
