YOUNGSTOWN -- The Joanie Abdu Comprehensive Breast Care Center (JACBCC) Mobile Mammography Unit will be traveling around Northeast Ohio throughout the month of October. The JACBCC was created to deliver the most accurate prevention, early detection, diagnosis and support services in the region, and the Center's mobile unit provides easier access to quality care to women all over the Mahoning Valley.
The state-of-the-art mobile unit uses the same high-quality technology and equipment to perform the mammogram that can be found in the JACBCC. It was also the first mobile unit in eastern Ohio to offer 3D mammography, which allows for a more thorough breast examination. The mobile unit moves from location to location to provide convenient mammography services and even includes patient assisted compression, for a more comfortable experience while in the unit.

Talk with your doctor about when you should have a screening mammogram. Screening mammograms are usually a covered benefit with most insurance carriers and do not require a physician order. Financial assistance for mobile screenings is also available.
Certified radiologists read all mammograms and because a second look can mean a second chance, we double-check all mammograms with a computer-aided detection system that detects more breast cancer than mammography alone. Your physician will receive a copy of the results.
For more information or to schedule your mammogram, call 330-480-2654.
