Mobile Mammography Available Locally

            Sarah Bush Lincoln’s Mobile Mammography Services will be hitting the road at area county health departments, banks and other locations in February.

            The Mobile Mammography van helps provide mammograms to women who do not otherwise have access to, or be able to afford these life-saving preventive screens. Women who qualify will receive their mammogram free.

            The mobile mammography van is available to all women regardless of their financial status. Women with insurance that covers their yearly mammogram are also welcome.

            Staffed by technologists from the Sarah Bush Lincoln Mammography Department, the mobile mammography van provides digital mammography technology, the same quality services found at the Health Center. All staff members are certified by the American Registry of Radiologic Technology and are further certified in mammography.

            The van will be at: SBL Family medical Center, Mattoon on February 6; SBL Charleston Clinic East on February 7; Odd Fellow Rebekah Home, Mattoon on February 12 and Coles County Health Department, Charleston on February 28.

To make an appointment for a mammogram on the mobile van at a location near you, call 1-800-639-5929.
