Mammogram vehicle

Premier Health’s mobile mammogram vehicle is again making stops in Southwest Ohio, offering traditional and advanced mammography services to those whose routine screening exams may have been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.

Like all Premier Health care sites, the mobile mammography coach is using strict cleaning and sanitation practices. All rooms and equipment are cleaned continually. All staff are following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for hand hygiene and use of masks and additional personal protective equipment, as appropriate.

“Cancer does not take a break, no matter what is going on in the world,” says Rhonda Seidenschmidt, vice president of operations, at Atrium Medical Center. “Resuming mobile mammography services is important because early detection can save lives when it comes to a breast cancer diagnosis.”

Equipped with advanced imaging equipment, the coach offers traditional 2D and Genius 3D Mammography technology to detect breast cancer. It also offers private dressing rooms and an all-female staff.

Getting a mammogram in the mobile coach is easy and convenient. Women make an appointment and visit the coach at a location near them. No doctor’s order is needed for a screening mammogram for women age 40 and older. Images are reviewed by board-certified radiologists from Atrium Medical Center.

The mobile mammography coach is open for appointments on the following dates and times in May:

■ Friday, May 22, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Hazel Baker Snider Funeral Home, 5555 Philadelphia Dr., Dayton

■ Wednesday, May 27, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at SureCare Medical Center, 360 W. Central Ave., Springboro

Financial assistance is available for patients who are underinsured or do not have medical insurance.

Women can schedule their mammogram on the mobile coach by calling 844-453-4199. More information about the process and coach locations is available at www.PremierHealth.com/ mammo.
