Most women are busy. Between work and family needs, getting a mammogram may seem almost impossible. Our goal is to make screening simple and accessible. The mobile mammography center will be visiting locations in your community. You can request an appointment online or call 585-922-PINK(7465). We are ready to travel to you!
What to Expect
In a private changing area, you will be provided with a comfortable robe to change into for the screening.
A female technologist will position your breast for the mammogram. Your breast is then compressed while she takes pictures from different angles.
The actual breast compression only lasts a few seconds.
The screening will take 15 minutes.
