Early detection is vital and to that end the BreastScreen mobile unit will be in Bowraville for a short visit in Mid-May.
The unit will be located in Bowra Street, at the rear of the Ex Services Club and women aged between 50-74 years are especially encouraged to make an appointment, for their free two-yearly mammogram, however all women over the age of 40 are eligible to attend.
BreastScreen also urges local women who have just turned 50 or who have lapsed in having a regular mammogram or have moved to the area, to phone 13 20 50 for an appointment.
In addition to the mobile unit, BreastScreen North Coast has a fixed site, located within the grounds of the Coffs Harbour Health Campus, which offers screening all year round.
