Mammovan visiting Caliente and Alamo

by

Nevada Health Centers’ Mammovan will be offering mammography screenings in Caliente & Alamo next week.

Mammography screenings are primarily for women age 40 and older; however, screenings will be provided to those younger than 40 who have a screening referral from a provider. Call 1.877.581.6266, option 1, to make an appointment.

Thursday, Aug. 13 – 7:10am – 3:30pm, Lincoln County Medical Associates, 700 North Spring St. in Caliente.

Friday, Aug. 14 – 7:40 a.m. – 12:40 p.m., Lincoln County Medical Associates, 33 Joshua Tree St. in Alamo.

Early detection is key in the fight against breast cancer, so access to screenings is critically important. To accommodate women who are due for a mammography screening, we continually criss-cross the state and stop in communities of all size.

We accept most major insurance plans, as well as Medicaid and Medicare. NVHC’s mission is to provide access to quality health care services throughout Nevada. Screenings are provided to all women regardless of economic status. The cost of screening may be covered thanks to our generous donors.

Nevada Health Centers (NVHC) 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.
