When it comes to breast cancer, the best protection is early detection. Call to make an appointment for your mammogram on the Francine’s Friends Mobile Mammography coach. The American Cancer Society recommends that every woman receive her first mammogram at age 40 and then each year afterward.

Francine’s Friends Mobile Mammography offers convenience and privacy for this screening test, which takes about 15 minutes. Specially trained technicians from the Breast Diagnostic Center (BDC) provide the mammography service.

Learn about the Parkview Breast Care Team, a service of the Parkview Cancer Institute.

All women over 35 are welcome, insured or uninsured. BDC will bill the insurance companies directly for insured women. For uninsured, BDC offers a reduced rate if payment is made the day of service. Funding is available for women who need assistance.

Advance scheduling is preferred; walk-in appointments may not be available.

Times for appointments vary.
