Nevada Health Centers’ Mammovan returns to Carson City and nearby cities this month, giving women access to critically important screenings with affordable exams.
Celebrating its 25th year, Nevada Health Centers’ Mammovan continually travels the state, stopping in communities to accommodate women who are due for a mammography screening. The Mammovan will be in Carson City, Reno and Sparks and Yerington this month. See the schedule below:
Mammography screenings are primarily for women age 40 and older; however, screenings will be provided to those younger than 40 that have a screening referral from a provider. Call 1-877-581-6266, option 1 to make an appointment or go online here.
Nevada Health Centers accept most major insurance plans, Medicaid and Medicare. NVHC’s mission is to provide access to quality healthcare services throughout Nevada. Screenings are provided to all women regardless of economic status, with some of the cost also being covered through generous donations.
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.
Established in 1977, Nevada Health Centers is a non-profit, federally qualified health center program dedicated to providing access to quality healthcare throughout Nevada. NVHC operates 20 health centers; five mobile programs, including the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile, Mammovan, Nevada Children’s Health Project, Mobile Medical Services, and Mobile Dental Services; and seven Women, Infants, and Children offices in southern Nevada.
