Upstate Hospital’s Mobile Mammography Program

December 1, 2020 By ml-admin

Upstate University Hospital’s Mammography Van will be at Munro Park (just down the street from Maxwell) on Tuesday, January 5, 2021. The visit is organized through Maxwell Memorial Library. Screenings will be available between 9:30 AM and 2:30 PM for women who have scheduled an appointment.

To schedule an appointment for a mammogram on the van, call 315-464- 2582 or visit the Mobile Mammography website.

To be eligible for a mammogram on the van, women should:

  • Be 40 years and older
  • Not have had a mammogram in the past 12 months
  • Not be experiencing breast problems

The mammography van spans 45-feet and is equipped with a state-of-the art 3D digital mammogram system, private exam and dressing room and a waiting room. It’s supported with funds from Health Research Inc. and the New York State Department of Health grant and is part of Gov. Cuomo’s “Get Screened, No Excuses” Breast Cancer Initiative.

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, affecting one in 8 women. It is also one of the most treatable cancers when detected early. Mammograms—x-rays of the breasts—are the most effective screening procedure for the early signs of breast cancer.
