Travelling mammograms hit rural Alberta

Some great news from the West: thanks to funds raised through the Weekend to End Breast Cancer, the Alberta Cancer Foundation has been able to purchase two mobile screening units that will visit 100 rural communities annually, offering digital mammography services to more than 25,000 women. Funds are also going toward digital mammography technology for two screening centres in Edmonton and one in Calgary.

Check out this video tour of the trailers, given by Alberta Cancer Foundation CEO Linda Mickelson. Then click over to our interview with Linda to find out more about the Weekend, and find out how you can help, too.
