Alberta Health Services has announced that a mobile mammography trailer will be visiting Stony Plain and the Enoch Cree Nation later this summer.

The goal is to bring health-care resources directly to women ages 50-74, the group most at risk of developing breast cancer.

The dates for the clinics are as follows:

Appointments are required. Stony Plain residents can call 1-800-667-0604 to book an appointment. Enoch Cree Nation residents can call 780-470-5440 to book.

AHS says a mammogram is the most effective way to detect breast cancer. Early detection allows for the greatest number of treatment options, and the best chance of survival.
