Breast cancer screening will be more easily obtained thereby increasing the chances of catching the disease early thanks to use of the Norton Mobile mammogram unit.
A partnership between Norton Healthcare and the YMCA of Greater Louisville will enable mammogram screening to take place at the Southeast Family YMCA via the use of a mobile mammogram van. The purpose of the mobile unit is to allow women to obtain breast cancer screening near to their homes or workplaces thereby reducing stumbling blocks such as traveling and scheduling difficulties.
Brochure printing services are used frequently by the healthcare industry to keep the public informed of numerous factors concerning their health.
Starting at 40, women are encouraged to include in their routine breast cancer screening an annual mammogram; however, a number of factors can inhibit this from happening. In addition to transportation and the scheduling factor, many women also put it off due to nervousness. The ability to have a mammogram in the spur of the moment at a mobile unit can help them overcome this obstacle.
Health officials contend that delivering preventive care, including mammograms, into neighborhoods will make people more likely to keep up to date on their health screening.
The next mobile mammogram visit to a YMCA facility will be October 2, 2026, at the Northeast Family YMCA.
