HEALTH--YARMOUTH PREVIEWS MOBILE BREAST SCREENING UNIT
------------------------------------------------------------
Nova Scotia's mobile breast screening unit will be at the
Yarmouth Regional Hospital parking lot Saturday, Nov. 4 from
10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Women are welcome to drop by the unit for
breast screening.
The unit normally travels throughout Cape Breton but is
coming to Yarmouth on the occasion of a local Women's Health
Awareness Day.
"Plans are in the works for expanding the provincial
mammography program to the western region in 1996; this
gives the Yarmouth area a preview of what's to come," said
Bob St. Laurent, regional director for the western health
region.
Two technologists operate the unit which was unveiled only
last year in Sydney at its home base, Cape Breton Regional
Hospital. The unit returns to Sydney on Sunday.
