What is it?
The Carol Ann Read Breast Health Center at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center is home to Sutter’s 40-foot mobile mammography van. It’s equipped with the latest 3D mammography technology and is staffed by a dedicated breast health team.
Why are Mammograms Important?
The American Cancer Society suggests women who are at average risk for breast cancer (no personal or family history of breast cancer) receive annual mammogram screening at age 45. Bringing the mobile mammography van to employers makes it easy for women to get the screening they need. Because when detected early, breast cancer survival rate is 99%.
