Mercy Health’s mobile mammography unit has visits scheduled throughout the region in August.
The mobile mammography unit is customized for patient convenience and will deliver 3D mammograms to women age 40 and older. It is equipped with the newest 3D technology and offers patients the option of self-compression, meaning the patient will have the ability to control the compression once they are in position.
The unit makes access to mammography services easier. It offers safe and easy screenings at convenient locations throughout northwest Ohio. Early diagnosis of breast cancer has proven better outcomes.
The unit is scheduled to be at the following locations: Monday, August 5, Mercy Health–St. Luke’s Campus, 5757 Monclova Road, Maumee
•Thursday, August 8 and 22, Mercy Health–Swanton Primary Care, 22 Turtle Creek Drive, Swanton

While mammogram screenings may be covered by insurance, for best coverage, participants should verify if Mercy Health–St. Charles Hospital is an in-network provider with their insurance carrier. Those who are uninsured or have high deductibles, may qualify for financial need-based assistance programs or a no-cost mammogram. Call 1-800-9296626 for more information.
