According to health officials, finding breast cancer early can help save lives. Tioga Opportunities, Inc., in partnership with Lourdes, will be bringing the “Mammo on the Move” Mobile Mammography Van to Owego. The van will provide digital screening mammograms at the Tioga Opportunities, Inc. Family Planning Clinic, located at 110 Central Ave. in Owego, on Wednesday, July 28 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Residents are eligible to use the van for breast screening if they are age 40 or older, have no current breast problems or symptoms, and have no history of breast surgery, or had a biopsy over one year ago with benign results and no further problems.
You do not have to be a patient of Lourdes and your results can be sent to the health care provider of your choice. Insured and uninsured women are welcome. No referral is needed.
