Mobile Mammovan to make stops in Carson City and Yerington
Nevada Health Centers’ Mammovan will make stops next month in Carson City and Yerington, officials announced Wednesday.
The mobile Mammovan aims to make mammography services accessible and convenient for women by visiting locations across Nevada. These screenings are primarily for women age 40 and older; however screenings will be provided to those younger than 40 who have a physician referral.
Women wanting to take advantage of this valuable service should call 1-877-581-6266 to make an appointment. Go here for more information about Nevada Health Center Services.
The Mammovan will be in Carson City on Thursday, April 14 and Friday, April 15 at Sierra Nevada Health Center, 3325 Research Way, from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
On Saturday, April 16, the Mammovan will be at the Yerington Paiute Tribal Health Clinic, 30 W. Loop Road, from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 17, at Scolari’s Food & Drug, 176 W. Goldfield Avenue, Yerington, 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Nevada Health Centers operates the Mammovan, a mobile mammography van that provides convenient access to mammography services to women. The Mammovan began operations in 2000, and was initially made possible by a grant secured by former Congressman John Ensign and former First Lady of Nevada, Dema Guinn.
NVHC has been able to continue to operate the Mammovan thanks to generous donors and grant funding. NVHC is proud to announce that it is one of six organizations to receive a grant from the Prevent Cancer Foundation. The grant was awarded in support of the Mammovan Program and will be used to meet the mammography screening needs of women throughout Nevada.
NVHC’s mission is to provide access to quality healthcare services throughout Nevada. It accepts most insurance plans, Medicaid and Medicare.
