The importance of mobile mammography in battling breast cancer (10-26-24)
Manage episode 446819264 series 3257884
On this week's program, host Allison Donahue speaks with Becky Mercier, Trinity Health Breast Imaging Supervisor on the importance of mobile mammography in the battle against breast cancer.
In just one year, the mobile mammography unit at Trinity Health Grand Rapids has completed over 2,000 breast screenings and diagnosed 13 patients. The 40-foot bus, equipped with top-quality 3-D imaging capability, provides increased access to care in our community by visiting neighborhoods, partnering with organizations, and making breast care convenient.
In 2020, nearly half of eligible women in Grand Rapids’ racial and ethnically diverse neighborhoods didn’t have access to mammograms. The unit is committed to combatting this lack of reach, and they’ve begun to work towards it in the first year.
